UNC Charlotte Psychology: Study Abroad in Hong Kong!!
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!
Hong Kong is a dazzling city with an expansive skyline, bustling harbor, and enchanting cultural sites. Hong
Kong University's (HKU) campus architecture reflects the city's rich cultural history of traditional Chinese
heritage influenced by the island's former lengthy British rule. The University is recognized for producing
innovative, high-impact research. Students’ appreciation for scholarship is nurtured by faculty who integrate
their research findings into their teaching. Students are further encouraged to assist in ongoing research and
to conduct their own research projects.
Sample Classes: Psychology of Motivation; Psychology of Personality; Biological Psychology; Intro to
Counseling & Therapeutic Psychology; & Love, Marriage, Sex, and Family
