They are a great option if you want to add an international element to your degree and have a spare elective!

"Hey everyone we’re Chelsea and and Lilly, and over the winter break we went and did a three-week Forensic Psychology course in the Netherlands. To any students thinking of studying Forensic Psychology or doing another short course: you’re only overseas for a short time, do as much as you can! Study is important but so is the experience!"
