To begin with, I am studying psychology at MRU and I have just finished only first semester of my studies. Also, I have never studied this subject at any other university so it is quite difficult for me to compare these studies. However, I chose Kent university to compare with MRU, because I am interested in studies of psychology at this university and I would like to go there with Erasmus programme.
Firstly, Kent university offers a range of degree programmes such as tree-years Social Psychology, four-years Applied Psychology and a four-year degree with a year in Europe. On the contrary, MRU has only one Bachelor's degree programme. Furthermore, Psychology Department at Kent university is located in a modern building with 39 research laboratories and this university has one of the largest collections of books on social psychology. So here you can gain more practical experience and there will be no problems to find some books. What is more, it is the best practise of English, because you must often speak in this language and listen lectures.
On the other hand, there is some disadvantages of studying at Kent University. Firstly, studies are much more expensive than in Lithuania universities. Secondly, I know how hard is to leave your family and friends abroad. Finally, you must read everything in English and you need much more time to do your homework so you haven't got enough time to your personal life.
All in all, I would really like to study at Kent university. I think I would gain very good experience, improve my English and meet some new people.
