Psychology studies at Mykolas Romeris University and at The University of Edinburgh

I decided to study psychology because these studies are very interesting and useful to me. There are many universities where people can study psychology. I would like to compare two of them:  Mykolas Romeris University which is located in Vilnius and The University of Edinburgh.

Mykolas Romeris University is a modern and dynamic European university in Lithuania. Each year this university admits a large number of creative and talented young people.

 I’ve chosen Mykolas Romeris University because it has many benefits. Firstly, students of this university have a possibility to use the Reading Rooms during the night hours and to borrow books from the university library for free. Secondly, Mykolas Romeris University has got the Cultural Activities Centre where students can develop their talents. Also, this university has a lunchroom, where students can eat very cheap and delicious food. Students are provided accommodation in Mykolas Romeris University student hostels where rooms are shared by two or three students.

The University of Edinburgh also has many advantages. One of them is as the possibility to participate in the Erasmus program. The University of Edinburgh is a public research university located in Edinburgh. This university was founded in 1583, making it one of Scotland's ancient universities. More than 22,000 students study there from all over the world and from different backgrounds. The University has 22 Schools in three Colleges: Humanities & Social Science, Medicine & Veterinary Medicine, and Science & Engineering. Today, the university is a leading European centre of academic excellence. All students of the University of Edinburgh are entitled to free borrowing from the university’s libraries. The University has many residential places for students in a wide range of accommodation.

At both Mykolas Romeris University and The University of Edinburgh psychology program disciplines are quite similar. At both universities students can study many subjects like Social Psychology, Development Psychology, Health Psychology, Memory and Perception. Bachelor degree studies of Psychology in Mykolas Romeris University last for three and a half years and cost more than 5000 litas (1448 EUR). Bachelor degree program of Psychology at Edinburgh University lasts four years and costs almost 2000 pounds for students from the EU. Both universities give students an opportunity to study Psychology in 3 stages: bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and doctoral degree.

All in all, apart from all differences between these universities, no one can deny that both universities Mykolas Romeris University and The University of Edinburgh are great places to study Psychology.
