Psychology

Psychology

Study abroad to explore the one experience we all share: the human condition.

Dive into some of today’s most pressing discussions, such as mental health in digital spaces, resilience in the face of climate anxiety, and the latest research in positive and forensic psychology. A significant focus is placed on understanding the human experience through a multidisciplinary lens to better understand the complexity of psychological phenomena.

Study under faculty who are actively working in international research and bring their professional knowledge to the classroom while you visit research sites, speak with mental health experts, and explore how the Scandinavian societies address wellbeing, inclusivity, and the promotion of holistic health.

The program is a good fit if you study:

  • Human Development
  • Neuroscience
  • Pre-Medicine/Health Science
  • Psychology
  • Sociology
