Many young people are dreaming about studying in university. Some are dreaming about local universities, some about going abroad. Here I‘m going to compare Mykolas Romeris university and University of Jyväskylä (Finland).
The University of Jyväskylä is among the leading research universities in Finland with some 16 000 students, a wide range of disciplines, and active international cooperation. It comprises of seven faculties and state-of-the-art research facilities. Human-centred Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Sport and Health Sciences, and Teacher Education form our core fields of research and education. The University of Jyväskylä is one of the most popular higher education institutions in Finland.
Mykolas Romeris University is a modern and dynamic European university with a creative and efficient research and academic community. Bachelor, Master and Doctoral Studies are carried out in compliance to the major principles of Bologna process in seven faculties. The University currently enrolls over 20,500 students. A total of 200 doctoral students study in the fields of law, management and administration. The University offers more than 70 different study programmes. Presently over 80% of study programmes have international accreditation.
The goal of the basic study programme of psychology is similar in both universities: to learn the basics of scientific psychology. The student is introduced to the central issues, concepts, theories and research methods in several fields of psychology. In The University of Jyväskylä the basic study programme is worth 25 ECTS credits. It consists of five 5- ECTS credit courses. Each course consists of two sections worth 2.5 ECTS credits apiece. One section is always completed either as an exam or a concept map assignment and the other as a written assignment. In MRU study programme is worth 160 credits, no less than 40 credits a year. Every semester students‘ knowledge is tested by exams or records negotiations.
Different than in our university in The University of Jyväskylä studying is not tied to any place or time – there are no fixed schedules, and it is possible to complete all studies at home, for example. You can register as a student at any time and complete your courses in the order you consider best.
To sum up, I think that all universities are good and interesting in their own way and it is hard to say which is better or worst, because I don‘t try any, apart MRU ;)
