Your clinical nursing placement in Kandy will be unique for a number of reasons. There'll be opportunities to work closely with local specialists in a broad range of different departments. In addition to this, you will see rare cases such as dengue fever, tuberculosis, and other conditions advanced past what you’ll have seen previously. You'll also be able to spot jaguars and leopards on local safari, raft down adrenaline-inspiring river rapids, and more. Read what our students think below!

Placement was such a great experience. I learnt skills during my time on all three wards that university could never teach me. The one thing I regret not doing was the Ayurvedic week, all my friends came back from going and said it was the best thing they did. If I had my trip again I would have gone there 100%.
