Psychology at MRU and abroad

For comparison with MRU I chose University of York.

The UoY’s Department of Psychology specialises in Experimental Psychology and this approach is central to the content of our taught courses. They also provide a wide range of opportunities for other forms of postgraduate research. Incorporated into the first year of postgraduate research is a taught training programme. Expertise in both teaching and research within the Department has given rise to various teaching and research centres. For example the department has very close links with the York based HEA Psychology (formerly LTSN).

In contrast, MRU’s programme of Bachelor Studies in Psychology is designed to grant a European standard of bachelor qualification in Psychology. Throughout the study programme of psychology, the students acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in various spheres of psychology; develop their abilities to understand, explain and assess human behaviour, personality and emotional state and to provide psychological assistance. On completion of studies, the graduates may continue in postgraduate studies of psychology and seek Master’s degree and a further independent career. Also graduates may seek careers involving no direct psychological intervention or assessment or work as an assistant of an expert psychologist; Also they can continue in postgraduate studies different from psychology, e.g.: Law and Administration, Public Administration, Protection of Children Rights, Social work, etc.

In conclusion, the main difference between these in these universities is lack of experimental research in Mykolas Romeris University. However MRU offers European standard studies and does not fall behind of other European Universities.
