Sally - 2019
I wanted to complete an extra psychology subject over the summer, and studying overseas seemed like a really great opportunity. The Positive Psychology content taught me many new things about myself and about positive aspects of humanity, that I really enjoyed.
I found the academic side of the program to be amazing, and I learned so much in a really short time. I think the skills that I developed in research and in positive psychology may provide me with future opportunities.
