Psychology studies at Mykolas Romeris University and abroad


                 There are a lot of universities where you can study psychology, but I would like to talk about Mykolas Romeris and Edinburgh universities.

                 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 program also gives an opportunity for some specialization through the optional courses. Mykolas Romeris University offers accommodation for international students on campus – at student residence hall “Student house”- the twelve floor modern building.. Rooms are shared by two or three students. If you want to continue your studies you can choose from Social psychology, Law psychology and Organization psychology at Master’s degree.

             The program in The University of Edinburgh lasts four years. You will have the opportunity to learn from researchers who are leaders in their field, and a particular strength of university teaching is the key element of experimental/practical work thought the course. Psychology at Edinburgh has close links with a wide variety of other Schools such as Biological Science, Education, Informatics, and Social and Political Studies. All freshers from outside Edinburgh are guaranteed an offer of university accommodation, with certain conditions. Accommodation ranges from the catered to self-catered, the modern to the traditional. Masters programmes in psychology at university are Cognition in Science & Society, History and Theory of Psychology, Human Cognitive Neuropsychology, Individual Differences, Psychology of Language, Psychological Research.

                  In conclusion, The University of Edinburgh offers more opportunities to continue studies at master degree than Mykolas Romeris University. But the main psychology program disciplines in both universities are quite similar.
