Blog 4: Post-Graduate Studies

Hi everyone! Today i'm gonna talk about post-graduate studies, if i want to take one, or not, and here we go:

Now I'm in 4th grade of Psychology and I like the area of Educational Psychology and to finish my career I'm gonna choose the certification course of “Advanced cognitive behavioral therapy”. Now you would think, why she don’t choose the certification course for something about the area of her interest, and well, that’s because I don't like the focus of the certification course of the University in Educational Psychology. For that reason, now my team leaders from an assistantship in Basic Processes of Learning recommend me take the course of “Advanced cognitive behavioral therapy” and at the same time we are looking for a scholarship to take a postgraduate program.

I’m beside two universities, first, the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, and the University of Conception. And why these universities? Because their focus is in school coexistence and vocational training, and I really like these things to work in the future, and maybe someday I would like to teach that in some university. 

I personally don't have in my plans to study outside of Chile, because I'm really interested to have my practices here and I appreciate the cultural elements in the schools here. Now i don't know if in the future i would like to study outside, i’m open minded.

Respecting how I like to study, I prefer the face to face classes because I think in a career like Psychology we need the contact, the non verbal communication, and other elements that don't exist in the internet area. I mean, of course there exists a culture of the internet, but it’s different from the culture that exists in the face to face context.

And that's everything, bye! see you!
