When I decided to study psychology I have long followed Psychology study programs in various Lithuanian universities and tried to decide which choice is the best. Now I’ll try to compare psychology studies at Mykolas Romeris University and one foreign university - University of Bradford.
Term-time. In order to get Bachelor’s degree of psychology in University Bradford (BU) student have to study three years but in Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) - four years. Term-time in many Europe University for Bachelor’s degree for psychology is three years but Bachelor’s degree in all Lithuanian universities is four years.
Learning programs of Psychology in MRU and BU have differences and similarities. In the first year students of Bradford University study The psychology of learning and study, Cognitive psychology, Psychobiological and Perception, Introduction to research, Methods in psychology. Many recite disciplines are included in our program too. Other disciplines are studied in the second year, for example Statistics. Our University’s students have Statistics in the first year of study but Bradford’s University - last study years. As I have compared studies in BU and MRU I have noticed that BU pay more attention to psychological subjects while MRU takes a great interest not only in psychological subjects but also in subjects that are important for person’s intelligence and calibre.
In both universities there are psychological laboratories where students can do different research and various experiments. In my opinion it is very interesting and necessary because students have a possibility to apply their theoretical knowledge practically.
Each University has advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, in order to compare studies’ quality in any university it is necessary to study there for some time. That’s why I can’t decide which University, MRU or BU, is better. I think that each university tries to prepare really good professionals and be as great as possible.
