Description

Using knowledge and skills acquired in their postgraduate studies, students will translate what they have learned into practice via this capstone experience. Students will engage in both individual and group-based work in partnership with industry. Using leadership, teamwork, research and critical thinking, students will consider sustainable approaches to address complex population health issues. Projects may include: a program plan or evaluation, policy analysis, extended rapid review, health impact assessment or data analysis, amongst others. The project will be practice-focused and supported by a range of online or face to face content, regular group meetings and an academic topic leader.

Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’. It only takes two hours to complete online, and provides you with vital information about studying with Curtin University. The Academic Integrity Program is compulsory, so if it’s not completed your subject grades will be withheld.
