Learning languages


Today there hundred and even more languages all over the world. Even people who cannot speak have they own languages, moreover some human beings say that your knowledge depends on how much languages you know. So how to learn them?

First of all, professional lessons can give basic understing of language. It is quite possible to learn language by having these lessons, learning regulary and having some training.

Secondly, going abroad broads your knowledge about languages. You communicate with people all the time, you are surraunded by their native language so you can get the best training.

Finally, communicating with people who have other native language can give good results too.

To conclude, knowing languages can be the key of success so let's start learning!

Richard Wiseman's experiments


Richard Wiseman is one of the most known psychologists at this time. He is a professor of psychology in university of Hertfordshire in United Kingdom. Professor is known because of his experiments in deception, humor, luck and many more quirky areas.

One of his works is about lucky and unlucky people. Professor Wiseman tried to understand why some people are happy ant lucky without any talents. This research identifies four basic principles which use lucky people in order to make their lives better and create good future.

Another Professor Wiseman’s research was about names and surnames. In this research, tried to find how people’s names are related to their career choices, lifestyles and so on. He found out that people who are happy with their names achieve more than people who would like to change their names.

To conclude,R. Wiseman did fascinating research and gave a little bit more charm to psichology. Reading his jobs includes not only studing but also having good time.

MRU and university in Glasgow, England


Nowadays there are a lot of good universities where students can study psichology. Because of this variety there are some differences between studies, therefore I am going to compare psychology at Mykolas Romeris University and at university in Glasgow.

First of all,at MRU we study psychology in the faculty of Social policy. This faculty offers three first cycle degrees (Bachelor of Psychology, Bachelor of Social work, Bachelor of Law and Penitentiary Activities) and the same kind of Master’s degree.
At University of Glasgow, in the faculty of Behavioral sciences, it is possible to get also three first cycle degrees (Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), Bachelor of Arts (Education), Bachelor of Arts) and the same kind of Master’s degree.

The department of Psychology in the University of Glasgow consists of nine sections: perception and cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, clinical psychology, traffic psychology, neuropsychology, personality psychology, psychometrics and methodology, psychology of work, technology, and organizations and cognitive science.
The department of psychology in Mykolas Romeris University consists this sections: social psychology, psychology of business and psychology of law. However, in this University psychology as separate studies exists only for three years because of it there are not so many sections as in Glasgow's university.

Moreover, in both universities students can take a Master's degree only in Glasgow there are much more sections where you can specialize.

To conclude, there are many differences between these two universities but despite it students can get good education in both places.
