Almost half a year ago all of us made a significant decision - where to study. Some of my friends stayed in Lithuania, in their home town, some of them decided to try something new - foreign countries. I'm going to compare 2 universities - MRUNI and University of Dundee in Scotland.
Bachelor’s degree in Psychology
offered by the Department of Psychology at Mykolas Romeris University is a
full-time, 3,5 year undergraduate programme targeted to the students who have
secondary education or high education certificate. It gives students a
comprehensive general coverage of the central topics of psychology. Courses
provide students with the knowledge of research, theories, and their
applications in psychology. The programme also gives an opportunity for some
specialization through the optional courses. Students of psychology become
sought-after professionals due to their ability to understand human behavior,
collect, analyze, and interpret data, master statistics and experimental
design. They also develop the competences to apply gained knowledge in pursuing
their personal and professional goals.
Another university is the University of Dundee. Psychology course here lasts 4 years. This university is well equipped with dedicated computer labs and a common room for students to socialize and relax, because this university likes foreign students a lot. Actually, the aim of this course is almost the same like in MRUNI - to learn students how to use a wide variety of approaches to answer questions and have the opportunity to play an active part in furthering our understanding of the human mind and behavior.
In conclusion, I'm studying at MRUNI and a friend of mine studies in Dundee. I'm satisfied about my choice and he is. But the question is 'what is the difference?', are there any cons about these universities? There is actually one - location. My friend says that he misses Lithuania so much and it means a lot. It's hard to concentrate on studies if you are not happy enough.
