There are few universities in Lithuania, such as Mykolas Romeris university, Vilnius university or Vytautas Magnus University that offers to study psychology. However, many young people often choose to study abroad, so I’m going to compare psychology studies in Mykolas Romeris university, the university I am studying in, and University of Southampton.
Mykolas Romeris university is a modern institution seeking to have a well-established position in European higher education. The programme of Bachelor Studies in Psychology is designed to grant a European standard of bachelor qualification in Psychology. Postgraduate students can choose between law, social or business psychology as master studies. Bachelor study programme is for 4 years, and master studies takes 2 years.
The University of Southampton is already one of the top 10 research universities in the UK and has achieved consistently high scores for its teaching and learning activities. Psychology degree in university of Southampton introduces to the various areas covered by contemporary psychology. Postgraduate students can choose between Clinical psychology, Educational psychology, forensic psychology, health psychology, etc. First year of psychology studies gives an opportunity to explore the foundations that support psychological theory, research methods and analysis, and be introduced to practical psychology experiments. Second year covers material from six key research areas: cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, biological psychology, learning and behaviour, social psychology and personality psychology. Year three offers the opportunity to specialise in an area of your choice. So yes, bachelor studies in university of Southampton takes only 3 years.
To sum up, there are, of course, some differences and some similarities between those two universities, but they both share the same main purpose – to train high level specialists. And in my opinion, what matters more than the university, is the persons desire to study and seek knowledge in his chosen field.
