In this subject students are expected to spend time working in an area of public health relevant to their Doctor of Public Health thesis. The time involved should be approximately twice that for Doctoral Attachment ( TM6013 ). The Doctor of Public Health placement may be in any area(s) of public health relevant to the Doctor of Public Health research. The placement will normally take place in a recognised national, regional or international centre of excellence for the area under study.
Learning Objectives:
- gain skills and experience in an extended work placement environment related to the student’s area of research;
- acquire advanced methodologies and knowledge useful for the development of the student’s Doctor of Public Health thesis.
