We are committed to providing opportunities for students to expand their understanding of refugee experiences, and enhancing their knowledge and skills in working with people from refugee-like backgrounds and with refugee communities.
Our student placements can vary in length, and cover a wide range of disciplines including psychology, social work, psychotherapy, counselling, creative or expressive therapy, youth work and community development.
