Health & Social Care University Tour to Reggio Emilia
Example study tour
One of our university customers required a group travel package where students could perform a critical analysis of international perspectives on health and social care.
StudyLink created a 5-day study tour package to Reggio Emilia, enabling students to explore operations and practices of health and social care in a different country, learn more about global health and social care issues, and assisting in developing their skills and improving their future employability.
