Today I am going to
compare two famous universities Mykolas Romeris University and a
worldwide known Anglia Ruskin University. From the geographical point
of view the first one is located in Vilnius, Lithuania whereas the
other one is situated in Cambridge, United Kingdom.Both universities
have many similarities and differences that I am going to reveal.
To start with the
University of Law was renamed to the Mykolas Romeris University in
2004,when the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania approved a certain
resolution.The University is named after Romer who was a famous
Lithuanian lawyer ,scientist and politician.To compare with, Anglia
Ruskin University gained its status in 1992, and was named in 2005
after John Ruskin.Prior it was called Angia Polytechnics University
that developed from art school ,which was established in
1858. Moreover, Mykolas Romeris University has nearly 22.000 students,
whereas Anglia Ruskin University student population is about 31.000
and it is one of the largest in the East of England.Anglia Ruskin
University has campuses in Cambridge, Chelmsford, Peterborough, Harlow
and Mykolas Romeris University campuses are located in Vilnius and
Kaunas.What is more, Anglia Ruskin University has three major
faculties: the faculty of science and technology, the faculty of
health and education and the faculty of arts and social sciences,each
of them has many departments. Mykolas Romeris University has seven
faculties : economics, politics, law, social policy, social
informatics, public security and informatics.
There are some
similiarities between these two Universities. They both are quite
young, having modern buildings, the latest equipment. They both have
international students, participate in student exchange programmes,
have modern libraries, develop research activities. What is important,
they both prepare motivated, enthusiastic, qualified specialists ,
develop their intellect and personality. Both universities provide
their best students with free of charge studies, others have to pay
tuition fees. In Mykolas Romeris University the
tuition fee is 2.700Lt per semester while in Anglia Ruskin tuition fee is about 3000 pounds.
Comparing psychology
departments Anglia Ruskin University has very good quality
psychology studies as well as Mykolas Romeris University. Furthermore
, Anglia Ruskin University was recognised for its outstanding
performance in the 2008 UK Research Assessment Exercise, making it
the UK’s top-rated Psychology department.
To sum up, from my personal
experience I can say that Anglia Ruskin University has better
facilities and student accommodation,but looking from the point of
view of the quality of studies both universities have good results
and create proper conditions for their students to study. Of
course,career opportunities are better in UK, but I prefer to study
and live in my native country.
