Key Summary

About : The Global Health Course with Clinical Placement and Cross-Cultural Nursing focuses on essential global health issues and the role of nursing in addressing them. It combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience through clinical placements, offering students an in-depth understanding of healthcare in diverse cultural settings. This program equips students with skills to provide care in various environments and appreciate cultural influences on health practices.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue roles as global health nurses, public health practitioners, or work with international health organizations. Opportunities exist in humanitarian aid, health policy development, and health education. The program prepares students for careers that impact health outcomes on a global scale.

With increasing globalization, mobility, and cultural flows, health problems need to be addressed from a worldwide perspective. We offer a course in Global Health for national and international students in nursing.

Health is a human right. Global health work is important because it aims to improve worldwide health, access to healthcare services and the quality of health care for all. Global health considers several determinants, or factors, that influence health. Globalisation, climate change, political conflicts, poverty, and lack of education are among the main factors.

The aim is for the students on this course to gain knowledge and an understanding of the political, socio-economic, cultural and environmental factors that affect global health. The course focuses on how nurses may contribute to and collaborate in global health strategies.
