Psychology Study in Mykolas Romeris University and The Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia


Today young people who want to attend a psychology course have many possibilities to study at universities all over the world. Although the experience show that in every country and every university the method of studying is different. For example let us compare two universities in different countries The Mykolas Romeris University in Lithuania and Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia




I would like to start with history of the department of psychology in this two universities. In Mykolas Romeris University the Psychology laboratory is a structural division under the Faculty of Social Policy, Department of psychology was established in 2006 year for teaching and research purposes.The Faculty of psychology in Lomonosov Moscow State University has much wider history. Since 1755 Psychology was among the courses taught at the Faculty of Philosophy. The Department of Psychology was founded at Moscow University in 1942 and the first head of the Department was Professor S.L. Rubinshtane. The Faculty of Psychology became a separate division in 1966, first Dean of the Department was A.N.Leontjev. Presently more than 200 professors, lecturers and research associates, including 10 members of the Russian Academy of Education are working at the Faculty. More than 1000 undergraduate and 100 postgraduate students take their classes at the Faculty.



There are special condition which students must follow in order to be accepted to the university. One of those conditions are state examinations. In Lomonosov Moscow State University there are special entrance examinations. The graduator must pass the examination of Russian language, Math and Biology. In Mykolas Romeris University students are accede referring on how they passed their state examinations. State Examinations for psychology course are Math, Lithuanian language and English or History. The main advantages of Faculty of psychology in Lomonosov Moscow State University is that it provides a course for young people who study at school and think of studying psychology in Universety. It helps them to make up their mind and gives some basic knowledge about psychology. The Mykolas Romeris University now provides such courses only for law and financial studies. I hope in future Mykolas Romeris University will make such course for psychology.



Programme of Bachelor Studies in Psychology in Mykolas Romeris University is designed to grant a European standard of bachelor qualification in Psychology. Throughout the study programme of psychology, the students get practical and theoretical skills to understand, explain and assess human behaviour, personality and emotional state. In Mykolas Romeris University they are both and full-time and part-time studies. The length of bachelor degree in Psychology is 4 years. After graduating students may continue in postgraduate studies of psychology and seek Master’s degree and a further independent career. Master Degree includes Law Psychology, Social Psychology and Business Psychology full-time and extramural studies for 2 years. What concerns The Lomonosov Moscow State University bachelor degree in Psychology is 5 years. Besides there are 5 directions in which you can specialize General Psychology, Psychophysiology, Clinical Psychology, Social Psychology, Industrial Psychology, Developmental and Educational Psychology. After graduating you may also continue and get a master degree which will last 2 years. What concerns the Ph.D. programme it takes 4 years in Mykolo Romeris Universety and up to 4 years in Lomonosov Moscow State University depending on which way of studying you will choose part time or full time.



In conclusion, I would like to say that The Mykolas Romeris University in Lithuania and Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia are both very high rated universities. Though there are some differences I believe that students of both universities gain very good education and become specialists in psychology area.
