Where to go and what to do?
There are a variety of short-term overseas experiences: CQUGlobal nursing program supports 50 opportunities across 3 countries, allowing you the flexibility to choose an experience that suits your personal needs and goals between.
The outbound short term program offered by the School to undergraduate students provides a wonderful opportunity to enhance and diversify your learning experience. CQUniversity Nursing and Midwifery students have been involved in outbound programs to places such as Nepal, Japan, Singapore and Palau over the past years. These trips are an amazing experience for nursing students, and they have a tremendous impact on the communities who benefit from our student’s fundraising and clinical treatments.

Developed in conjunction with internationally renowned organizations, the program is designed to help you develop a global perspective by gaining an appreciation of cultural diversity through immersion in academic and clinical experiences.
