International engagement
We’re committed to improving the health and wellbeing of people in our regions and the world.
Through international research partnerships, and our focus on creating life-ready, globally minded graduates, we foster engagement with countries across the world. Our partnership with the International Medical University in Malaysia, as part of the Joint Medical Program, is just one example of how we’re leveraging global ties to enhance the student experience.
From collaborating with international researchers, to leading studies of global relevance with the World Health Organisation, our research extends beyond our region and touches the lives of many people.
