UNC Charlotte Psychology: Study Abroad in Sydney, Australia!!
World-wide university partnerships offered by UNC Charlotte’s Office of Education Abroad
https://edabroad.uncc.edu/ can introduce you to locations and experiences well beyond the walls of Colvard.
Studying abroad is a wonderful opportunity to engage with a different culture and benefit from the resources
of another educational institution. Many institutions abroad offer excellent psychology courses, consider
taking some required psychology courses and classes on topics different from those available at UNC
Charlotte. Study abroad can easily fit into your academic plan by visiting the Office of Education Abroad to
select an international program, meeting with your psychology advisor to decide on the best time to go and
the classes to take, and consulting with the Office of Student Financial Aid http://finaid.uncc.edu/ to make the
opportunity affordable. Learn about yourself, learn about psychology, and learn about the world by
participating in study abroad!
Founded in 1850, The University of Sydney is the oldest university in Australia and Oceania.
The main university campus spreads across the Victorian-terraced southwest suburbs minutes from Sydney's
central business district. Health is a unifying area of study at The University of Sydney. In a unique
collaboration across schools, faculty aim to turn their academic discoveries into solutions that transform how
"people around the world eat, live and work." Student well-being and fitness are emphasized and supported
at The University of Sydney with 200+ clubs, societies, and sport programs available to continue learning
outside the classroom.
Sample Classes: Brain & Behaviour; Cognition, Language & Thought; Personality & Intelligence; Abnormal
Psychology; & Social Psychology
