UNC Charlotte Psychology: Study Abroad in Kingston, UK!!!
World-wide university partnerships offered by UNCC’s Office of Education Abroad (Office of International
Programs) 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
UNCC. 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!
