During your nursing internship in Kandy, you can expect to gain knowledge from a number of local specialists, experience a range of different departments, and engage with rare and unfamiliar cases such as dengue fever, tuberculosis, and other advanced conditions. Once the working day, or week, has come to an end, you'll have the chance to spot jaguars and leopards on a local safari, go white water rafting, and more. Read what our students think below!
