This international field placement unit will be completed during the last semester of the candidature. Eligible students will maintain a weighted average mark of at least 70 per cent in their first 24 core credit points. Selection is a competitive process involving an (1) expression of interest, (2) interview and (3) based on academic performance including maintaining 70 per cent WAM for 24 credit points in second semester.

Depending on the project a student will be expected to: formulate strategies or methods in the implementation of a program; develop and write training manuals, guidelines, proposals, reports or policy briefs; evaluate programs through collaborative work with the international partner institutions or organizations.

Students will be expected to attend all pre-departure workshops if in Sydney otherwise arrangements will be made to provide information online to distant students. Students should also arrange to meet regularly with their supervisor and placement coordinator and undertake 6-12 weeks continuous work with an assigned host partner institution or organization.
