Health & Social Care University Tour to Amsterdam

Example study tour

 Created for The University of Lincoln

 

The University of Lincoln required a group travel package where students could develop knowledge, skills and values required to take on many of the new and emerging responsibilities within a range of care sectors. 


StudyLink created a 4-day study tour package to Amsterdam, enabling students to explore operations and practices of health and social care in a different country under European laws, and compare methods to assist with developing skills.
