UNC Charlotte Psychology: Study Abroad in Lancaster, UK!!
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!
Three miles from the Atlantic coast and set amidst valleys and forest, students attending Lancaster University
enjoy an idyllic locale to study abroad. Identifying as stewards of their beautiful surroundings, the University
community engages in a number of sustainability initiatives and encourages student involvement on campus
and within the local community. In addition, Lancaster is brimming with culture, hosting some of the bestknown and respected UK and international artists in numerous public programs of professional theatre, dance,
exhibitions and concerts.
