In this
ocassion we`re going to look a news related with my career and that appears in this webpage: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2001/aug/23/choosingadegree?INTCMP=SRCH
The news is based in the idea that in
psychology rarely hints at the statistics and science. And a exceptional
examples are the Departments of psychology of two British Universities wich have
a syllabus with a reasonably high science base and that is focused on
biological and clinical aspects. These
universities have high technology with a range of modern equipment available. One
of the head of psychology`estimates that about 20% of his graduates move into
relevant employment directly after leaving.
Then, a student of psychology says that some students are disappointed
to find that they need to learn scientifics matters. He also recognizes that
only a minority of people get jobs in psychology, but does not worry him
because he consider that psychology is an interesting degree and he knows that
can go on to all kinds of jobs. For my scarce experience I can say that in
Universidad de Chile the reality is different. First, we have a syllabus with a
perspective more social than scientific (the career is part of Faculty of Social Sciences and not of
Medicine). Also, we don´t have a complete equipment, the classrooms are small
and there are not equipment destinated to work of investigation (or
laboratory). It is noteworthy that in
our university the students have a range of areas that they can choose for
specialise (communal, laboral, educational, legal or clinical) and our
university was the first institution that implemented this offer in Chile. Are
impressive the diferences between these universities, right?
Well, I see you
soon.
I agree!!!
