Lithuania,like other countries in Europe,has so many Universities and there is ability to choose the best one in which student would like to study the most. In my opinion, the most popular Universities in Lithuania are MRU and Vilnius University. Both of Universities are located in the capital Vilnius and both of them are well known in all Europe.
When it was a time to choose where I will study I was thinking only about these two Universities. It was hard to make a right decision,but now I am a student of MRU and I am happy about it. How I made my decision? I compared these Universities and got all interesting and useful facts about MRU and Vilnius University. Now I will try to tell some useful information about both of these Universities.
Mykolas Romeris University is new,modern University,educating young people and it is also known as University of Law. In Mykolas Romeris University there are also psychology studies,which are very interesting and useful. Psychology students in MRU can get barchelor's, master's and even doctoral degree. But now it is actuall for me only the barchelor's studies,because I think it is too early and too hard to plan something about the future.
Barchelor's studies in MRU lasts 4 full-time years and the programme of psychology studies is designed to grant a European standard of barchelor qualification in Psychology. In barchelors studies are included objects like: logics and methodology of science, language of speciality, foreign languages, the human's anathomy and physiology, sensation and perception, history of psychology, philosophy, research methods of psychology, attention,memory and learning, mathemathical statistics and statistical methods of analysis, emotions and motivation, politology, theories of personality, social psychology, thinking,language and intelligence, economic theory and so on... Despite the fact that I am only in the first course,I tend to believe that most interesting and useful subjects are related with psychology science,but such subjects like logics and methodology of science, philosophy and politology are also very important to this studies. All the subjects are important and useful,except the one - language of speciality. Why do I think that this subjects is not useful? Because during this subjects I hadn't heard anything new and hadn't learned anything new in Lithuanian language grammar,it looked to me only the waste of time. It was a time to learn Lithuanian history and grammar at the school and, in my opinion, there is no need to revise it learning at the university. Offcourse, I can't tell that this is the only subject which is not important, because , as I mentioned, I am only at the first course.
Talking about Vilnius University - this University is one of the oldest in Lithuania also educating young people and students of Vilnius University can get barchelor's, master's and doctor's degree in psychology. The programme of psychology studies in Vilnius University and in Mykolas Romeris University are very similar,only a few subjects are different. Studies lasts 4 full-time years. There are also subjects like foreign languages, the human's anathomy and physiology, sensation and perception, history of psychology, philosophy, research methods of psychology, attention,memory and learning and so on. But there is no subject such as speciality of language.
To sum up,I would like to mention that students ,who wants to get barchelor's degree in other European Universities,are studying 3 full-time years. All the subjects of psychology studies are very similar to ours,but during the year students in Europe have more lectures than students in Lithuanian Universities. In my opinion,it doesn't mean that studies of psychology in Lithuanian Universities are worse than in European Universities.
