The University of Western Australia

The University of WA is once again running a design studio during the January vacation for students entering Year 12 in 2014. This studio will cover architecture, landscape architecture, media, urban design and visual arts. Students do not require any prior knowledge or artistic skills to participate. They will get a feel for what it is like to study Bachelor of Design units at UWA, and develop new skills under the tutelage of Faculty staff.

The focus this year will be a small scale design project centred on the area in and around the Perth Cultural Centre.

Interested students should enrol at http://www.alva.uwa.edu.au/community/studio/

A Gap Medics Work Experience placement

Aspiring medics between the ages of 16 -25 can join Gap Medics this summer on the Australian Summer Special in Thailand or Tanzania from 5 January 2014. Here they will shadow healthcare professionals in a variety of departments, getting a real-life insight into the work of medical professionals in a new and exciting country. No amount of work experience available back home in Australia will measure up!

Alongside gaining beneficial work experience, students will be able to get together with fellow Australians and experience everything the amazing destination has to offer. From days spent running around the busy hospital wards, to evenings watching wildlife down by the waterhole or cooking over an open fire with all of the fellow housemates. There are even wildlife safaris and hill-tribe treks to uncover at the weekends for those who are looking for a bit more exploration!

  • Students are collected from the airport and all live in our Gap Medics houses together with 64 other students, all the same age from all over the world
  • Mon-Friday students work in the hospitals from 8am to around 2pm
  • They shadow doctors, dentists, nurses and midwifes in a variety of departments
  • The main areas of the hospital that they work in are Obstetrics, Surgery, Paediatrics and General Medicine
  • 3 times per week they have a clinical teaching session where they are all brought together to discuss and interpret what they see on placement
  • Weekends are time for travel with other students and our staff
  • All food is included
  • We have 24/7 security at all houses
  • We send 3000 students from across the world each year

Places are limited and are likely to fill up quickly, so students should book early to avoid missing out on this once in a lifetime experience! The cost of a two-week placement is $2,190 (USD), but students can opt to join up for longer if they wish. Go to the website www.gapmedics.com.au, or call the friendly Head Office team for a chat on +44(0)191 230 8080.
