Primarily I want to start talk about undergraduate Psychology studies at Kingston University. So at Kingston University you are studying three years and each year the Psychology programme consists of different modules, for example, first year programme consists of Psychology Introduction, Research Methods and Classical Social Theory. At second course you are studying about Learning and Behaviour, Biopsychology, Social Psychology, Abnormal Psychology and a lot of other things about human being. And finally, the last course consists of Developmental Psychology, Individual Differences, Psychology Research Project and etc. Also, when you are studying Psychology at Kingston University you have an opportunity to study Psychology with other courses like Biology, Drama, History, Sociology, Media and Cultural Studies and I think it is a huge advantage for students because they can get to know a lot of interesting information and have a practical knowledge. Other good things about Kingston University is that after undergraduate studies you have opportunity to work as a Project worker, Housing assistant, Research Officer, Young Persons Drug and Alcohol Worker and if you want to continue studies you can choose postgraduate studies like Business Psychology, Sociology, Psychology of Education, Clinical Psychology. So, you can see that after postgraduate studies you will have a chance to get a gainful job. Also, talking about Kingston University I can say that there are a lot of other advantages, for example, great environment, voluntary programmes, summer work, but sadly, there are one huge disadvantage and it is expensive study and sustenance in the UK.
I have mentioned some pluses and minuses about Kingston University and it's time to talk about Psychology studies at MRU. At MRU you are studying four years to get Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and each half-year the programme consists of different modules like Logic, Philosophy, Introduction to Psychology, Research Methods, Sensation and Perception, Anatomy, Genetics, Neurology and a lot of other modules which each half-year are different and develop abilities to understand, explain and assess human behaviour, personality and emotional state and to provide psychological assistance which is very important in the future. Sadly, but after undergraduate studies the ability to get a job is low because usually you can get only work as an assistant of an expert psychologist in Lithuania. Moreover, after undergraduate studies you can only choose postgraduate studies of three different courses like Law Psychology, Social Psychology and Business Psychology. So when I compare Psychology studies at MRU and Kingston University I can say that you have more opportunities to get a job after studies at Kingston University and it is a minus for MRU, but irrespective of this minus, studies at MRU have a lot of advantages and some of them are interesting studies, great environment, friendly students, active leisure in MRU clusters. Also, Psychology studies are less expensive than at Kingston University.
To summarize I want to say that both universities have some advantages and disadvantages, but despite some disadvantages Psychology studies at MRU and Kingston University are very interesting and give you an opportunity to develop abilities to understand, explain and assess human behaviour, personality and emotional state, meet new friends, take part in voluntary programmes and get some summer job.
