For students attending the course Applied Global Health Project course code 4GB010
This elective course allows students to apply the theoretical and methodological knowledge they have gained to a real-world global health setting through an internship with an organisation, company or research group. Students are responsible for arranging their internship placement before starting the course.
Syllabus
During the internship, they will focus on integrating into the workplace, understanding how the organisation operates, and ensuring that their project goals align with the organisation's overall objectives.
While working on real global health projects, students will apply project management tools learned in previous courses, such as project planning, budgeting, and grant writing. They will also see how interdisciplinary strategies are used in practice. A key part of the internship involves reflecting on the ethical challenges that arise in a real-world setting and considering how to address them.
In addition to developing practical skills, students will reflect on their experiences, assessing the challenges they encountered and how their academic learning applied in practice. They will evaluate how well their knowledge fits real-world situations and consider the broader impacts of their work. By the end of the course, students will have a clearer understanding of how theoretical concepts translate into global health practice and the realities of working in the field.
Schedule

Course evaluation and course analysis
Course evaluation and course analysis will be published one month after the end of course.
