A realistic research experience
by: Madhumitha ashwin - IndiaProgram: Psychology Placements in Scotland with Adelante AbroadA good induction was conducted, provided a lot of clarity to the students as to what to expect in the upcoming weeks. The environment was very student friendly and understanding. My supervisor gave us the opportunity to raise any concerns or things we would like to do instead when it came to tasks.

Time of my life
by: Anna Brightwell - United StatesProgram: Psychology Placements in Scotland with Adelante AbroadScotland is breathtaking!! I had a great time living and working in Scotland. I enjoyed learning about their culture and was able to experience international life! It was rewarding to work in the company and actually contribute to their projects. I lived with 3 others in a flat and was able to get to know each of them while still having my own space.
