Priceless!

I truly enjoyed every day i spent at Moredun. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly which made me feel at home. From farm life to cells under a microscope, I saw it all. I am so grateful for this opportunity that I had and I couldn’t have asked for more. This experience exceeded my expectations and I will miss everyone dearly. Until next time!

Reflecting on My Internship Abroad Research, Experience, and Recommendations

Internship Abroad Review — Queen Margaret University, Scotland I completed a research project on pseudo-neglect and soft faction during my internship at Queen Margaret University. The professors were very kind, supportive, and accommodating throughout the experience, which made the academic part very rewarding. Scotland itself is absolutely beautiful, and having weekends free allowed me to explore and travel around, which was a great way to balance work and leisure. I highly recommend this internship for anyone interested in combining research with the chance to experience life abroad. That said, I found the program to be quite expensive relative to the overall experience, and five weeks felt a bit too short to fully benefit from the opportunity. If I had the chance, I would definitely do it again, but I hope the duration could be extended or costs reconsidered for future students.

Hi Katerina, Thank you so much for the review! We would LOVE for this program to be 2 or 3 months long. As a professional and experiential program, longer is always better. The price point is widely published and we have worked hard to not raise the price for years. Edinburgh is just a very expensive location. It is so great to hear when candidates say that they want to return again and we frequently get people who return for another abroad program with us! This experience will widely impact your resume and future psychology endeavors, of course! Thanks again! -The Adelante Abroad Team

I have absolutely loved my time working at Queen Margaret Univeristy within the psychology department. I got to work with 3 different professors on their research projects, and they gave us lots of flexibility in shaping their research projects . This is an experience unlike anything I have done before, and I got real world research experience that will help me further my academic and professional goals. I have also loved living in the city of Edinburgh, and I don't want to leave!
