One place will be reserved for a Psychology student in 2024/25 at the University of Hong Kong

For academic queries, contact your supervisor or the Departmental International Officer, Dr Silvia Gennari (silvia.gennari@york.ac.uk).

Summer abroad

Spending the summer abroad allows you to get a taste of living and working internationally without committing to a full year. Summer schools or International Study Centres (ISCs) can enhance your global awareness and improve employability, leadership and advocacy skills.
