Students are required to travel overseas and undertake a special project that integrates elements of what they have learned in other subjects.
This subject provides an opportunity for students to apply aspects of their learning through a period of study abroad or equivalent international experience. As such it encourages students to develop as professionals and further expand on their understanding of the range of ethical and moral responsibilities underpinning their future careers in global terms. This experience will provide students with the opportunity to become more culturally aware. It will provide an opportunity to discover new strengths and abilities, conquer new challenges and solve new problems, thus enhancing generic communication and problem solving skills and allowing them to develop new ideas and perspectives and a deeper understanding with respect to themselves and their chosen profession.
Employers are reported to view students who have studied abroad as more self-motivated, independent, willing to embrace challenges, and more able to cope with diverse problems and situations. Completion of this subject may thus enhance employment opportunities upon graduation, both in Australia's increasingly ethnically diverse workplace and abroad.
