Studies abroad

University is a place where people come to learn new things and in order to become specialists in their chosen fields. In these days the variety of study subjects is very wide. So here I would like to compare my psychology studies at Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) and at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) (USA).

First of all JHU is one of the most honorable university in the world for its ability to grow very good specialists, especially of medicine (doctors etc…). Dedicated to research, not clinical training, Johns Hopkins has one of the smallest of the top-ranked psychology departments in the United States, and has consistently played a leading role in the evolution and progression of American psychology.



At MRU psychology course consist of many different subjects and lasts 4 years at the first stage but you cannot call yourself a psychologist, because in order to do so, you have to finish second stage of psychology. Now this stage can last from 2 to 6 years and yet this is not necessarily the end. Our government had a discussion involving the questions should psychologists pass a licensing council and should they be acreditated like doctors. Unfortunately there is no decision made to this day.



I haven’t thought a lot where to apply , because of the financial issues and my commitment for my country, so I’m studying here at MRU and I prefer to keep this way.
