Today I would like to compare psychology studies in Mykolas Romeris University
and Oxford University. How You know, psychology is the science of mind and
behavior. So, it‘s important to choose right university.
First of all, I
want to introduce with the purposes of the programs. The main
purpose of Mykolas Romeris university undergraduate studies is to educate
qualified bachelor degree students of psychology ready to continue master
degree studies in psychology or other social sciences. Bachelors of psychology
should be able to apply psychological knowledge in scientific and ethical way
in different circumstances; they should have wide erudition, high psychological
culture and a need for permanent professional development. Undergraduate psychology at Oxford is taught as a scientific discipline,
involving substantial amounts of practical
work and experimentation. The course concentrates on biological, human
experimental, social and developmental psychology. The most important thing in the program is teaching and
learning methods. It contains of lectures, Problem
solving method, Graphical visualization, E-learning, Group learning, Independent
work. The basic difference between universities is length
of programs. Studies last 3,5 years in Mykolas Romeris university, but
it lasts 3 years in Oxford university. Also Oxford
has 102 libraries, MRU has only 3 libraries, but the cost of studying at Oxford
is £3,500 in year. It costs 5220 litas in MRU . Bachelor degree in Psychology in Mykolas
Romeris university is a prerequisite for the graduate programs in different
sub-specialities of this field, as well as professional psychologist or
research and teaching career. Students can also choose graduate programmes in
other fields such as human resource management, social work, education, media
and advertising, or healthcare. Career opportunities after getting bachelor
degree in Oxford university are similar to MRU .Students can gain a Master’s degree in Oxford
University. There are many various programmes like Social, Cognitive, Clinical
and others psychologies .
In conclusion, I want to explain why I had chosen
Mykolas Romeris university. One of the reasons is that it’s very modern place
and I can easily work at computer. Another reason is that I wanted to live in
Vilnius and the last reason is that MRU does
not avoid innovations.
