BME2032 - Biomedical industry based learning - 2018

The aim of this unit is to enable students to develop experience and understanding in discipline-specific, non-clinical, industry-focused work environments.

The unit will provide opportunities to establish:

1. Closer links between future graduates and industry partners
2. Workplace skills in a discipline area
3. Industry expectations of graduates
4. Real-world career experiences for students

   Students will be placed with an industry-partner for a short-term work experience opportunity in a discipline-specific area.

   This opportunity will enable students to develop industry and work-based learning, allowing them to apply discipline related knowledge to authentic, real-world situations.

   This unit will further enhance 21st Century employability skills necessary for career competitiveness.

Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Develop, apply, integrate and generate biomedical science knowledge in professional contexts
2. Work and learn in both independent and collaborative ways with others from diverse backgrounds and abilities
3. Communicate effectively to diverse audiences and in a variety of formats
4. Analyse work-based problems to develop effective solutions
5. Exercise personal, professional and social responsibility as a global citizen
