The School of Behavioural and Health Sciences is committed to creating programs that meet the needs of our community. Our students undertake rigorous community engagements and practical placements, alongside critical theoretical units, to provide them with the building blocks for success and help them contribute towards flourishing communities.

These strong partnerships provide a diverse range of placement and community engagement opportunities and ensure that our students complete their degrees with deep, valuable connections, and expansive and critical on-the-job experiences.
