There are many universities in the world that suggest psychology studies. Even though the science is the same, different universities suggest different ways of learning. I would like to compare psychology study between Mykolas Romeris University and University of Southampton.
First of all, these two universities have some similarities. During psychology course students are introduced to psychology as a science. The programmes include the basics of contemporary psychology - clinical, cognitive, health, development, learning and social. Also both universities require to select additional non-psychology subjects so that students would widen treir perspectives.
However, there are differences. One of the most important difference is the duration of study. At Mykolas Romeris University the bachelor course is 4 years long, whether at University of Southampton only 3 years.
Another difference is subjects. MRU programme includes subjects such as Logics and Methodology of Science, Language of Specialty and Mathematics that are not included in Southampton University's programme. Also University of Southampton suggests bigger variety of optional subjects such as Archeology, Arts, Geology and many other.
Also it is very important that students at University of Southampton are encouraged to work within teams, in secod year of studying students try experimental work which reguires to show their knowledge in a practical way. Mykolas Romeris University suggests only very little of practical work.
To sum up, students graduated from Mykolas Romeris University or from University of Southampton are able to understand human behavior, collect, analyze and interpret data and so on. Although studies at University of Southampton are of a higher quality and gives practical work which is very important for every student to become a proffesional psychologist.
