UvA Bachelor's Programme Psychology

Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017 · 11:30 a.m. · 47m 29s
Something extraordinary happens to children around the age of four or five. They suddenly realise that other people can think differently than they do. From then on, they start thinking about other people's thoughts. They become amateur psychologists. When you choose to become a psychologist, you take this one step further. You can start to apply scientific knowledge and methods to gain an understanding of what other people think, feel, desire and do.

O.k. Goodmorning everybody.
00:00:03
Welcome to this amazing presentation of the department of Psychology. Really great to have you all here.
00:00:12
I hope you can hear me in the back. Yes?Great. My name is Brenda Jansen. I'm the associate
00:00:20
professor at the Department of Psychology.
00:00:22
I work in different mental psychologies and today I have the honour to tell you a
00:00:27
little bit about our study program and I wanted to start with this cartoon and
00:00:34
I'm not sure if we've all had time to look at it yet. Let's take a minute to do that.
00:00:45
A cartoon by Charlie Brown
00:00:59
I hope you've all read it. There are actually three reasons why we want to start with this
00:01:05
cartoon and one reason is it's in English, well of course it's in English! Well..
00:01:12
there's something special and that is that next year our bachelor will be in English
00:01:17
So the lectures will be in English and the literature will be in English.
00:01:21
and the tutorials will be in English, although there also will be
00:01:26
Dutch tutorials for students who find it more comfortable to discuss and talk in Dutch.
00:01:34
But yeah all the English-speaking students can follow the
00:01:40
Bachelor programme of Psychology as well. So I want to tell you a little bit about the
00:01:49
psychology programme. And I will do so as follows. I'll tell you about our study programme, tell you a
00:01:59
little bit about psychology what is it how do we study this and I would also
00:02:05
tell you about career opportunities and selection then my part ends and I will
00:02:13
give the floor to Steven Jongjans who is a former student and he'll tell you
00:02:19
about his experiences at our department. So what is psychology? Do you have an
00:02:29
- Study of behavior.
00:02:33
Very good, very good. My vision has also study of
00:02:38
behavior but also it's a science of behavior and mental processes. So what do I mean
00:02:44
by science? First of all science is about seeking
00:02:49
answers to Why-questions, so we didn't only want to know how people think but
00:02:56
we also want to understand it. We want to understand that behavior and mental
00:03:00
processes so why do they behave in the way they do?
00:03:08
I say that psychology is a science, but what is scientific knowledge? We seek knowledge
00:03:15
as study of observable phenomena; the things we can see, observe.
00:03:24
For example 10 years ago the Catholic Church made important decisions. Until then was
00:03:30
said that unbaptized premature babies would go in limbo, but 10 years ago they said
00:03:38
that the babies would go to heaven this is the kind of knowledge we cannot
00:03:46
study in science. We cannot make this visible. Invisible is something we cannot
00:03:49
study we cannot observe the souls. So can't we study any claims
00:03:56
about the invisible? Well if we make the invisible visible we we can. And I'd like to give you
00:04:04
an example of that an example of therapeutic touch. This example of
00:04:11
therapeutic touch is also a very good example of the openness of science
00:04:17
science can be verified by anyone and that's very important for accuracy of science.
00:04:26
Therapeutic touch; well this is a picture of the therapy it's a nursing
00:04:29
intervention. So it's done by a therapist to make a
00:04:35
patient feel more comfortable. And it's done my only hands above the body of the patient.
00:04:42
The body emanates the human energy field and this energy field can be unbalanced and
00:04:51
the therapists job is to balance the energy fields so that patient feels better.
00:04:56
When we look at the picture we see that
00:05:00
the therapist look quite healthy and the patient looks quite healthy and they are satisfied.
00:05:06
Well patients and therapist are satisfied so maybe this is
00:05:14
an effective therapy you also see the hands are above the body
00:05:19
So the touch in the definition is maybe a little bit misleading. The patients aren't actually touched.
00:05:25
Now, a few years ago there was a young girl Emily Rosa. She was
00:05:31
only nine years old and she had to do a science project for her science fair and
00:05:37
she was interested in this type of therapy she heard that the therapists
00:05:42
feel the human energy field and she wanted to test this. So what did she do?
00:05:50
Well, it was was actually quite straightforward
00:05:52
she put a screen on the table and therapist was on one side of the screen
00:05:57
and she was on the other side of the screen and the therapist could extend
00:06:03
their hands through the screen left hand right hand and then Emily put her hand
00:06:10
above one of the hands of the therapist. Either her left hand or her right hand. And she did
00:06:17
so several times. And she didn't just put her hand somewhere she decided where to
00:06:23
put her hand randomly by flipping a coin. So for example heads would mean she would place
00:06:31
her hand about the left hand and tails would mean that she would place her hand above
00:06:35
the right hand that's what the experiment was like I would like to
00:06:42
think with you about the hypothesis so the hypothesis is that therapists truly
00:06:50
feel the human energy field. They can detect it: that's the hypothesis. Now we do
00:06:57
these experiments a lot of times with a lot of therapists and I want to think
00:07:03
with you about the percentage correct that we expect if the hypothesis is true
00:07:09
so it is true that the therapist exactly feel the energy field.
00:07:14
How accurate do you think should they be? What's your guess?
00:07:23
100. Yeah, very good, that's good.
00:07:27
100 is what we expect. It could be a bit off, but that should be nearly perfect. Now another
00:07:37
question is what to expect if the hypothesis is false? So if the therapist cannot feel where his
00:07:46
hand is. What do you expect then? From the percentage correct, how accurate do you
00:07:52
think therapists should be? Any idea?
00:08:00
Someone said 50.
00:08:28
I think we would expect 50% his lower it's harder to interpret so you if you're
00:08:35
lower than 50 then you'd be lower than than guessing but I think if these
00:08:40
therapists cannot really feel it then she or he would guess between the left or
00:08:47
the right hand. So we would expect a percentage correct for about 50%. So what
00:08:53
did Emily Rosa find? These are the results. The experiment showed that the
00:08:59
therapists were correct in 44 percent of the time so yeah it's a little under 50
00:09:05
so I guess the conclusion is that therapists kind of guessed where the
00:09:11
hand was. Now this example is I think an example of a very good experiment.
00:09:18
It's an example of conducting effective research. There were a lot of
00:09:26
therapists there are a lot of trials and she randomly decided where to put her
00:09:31
hand. So that's all very effective but we have to test all the hypotheses and
00:09:39
what would we do if the percentage correct wasn't 44 percent or 50 percent but
00:09:46
maybe 51? 52, 53, 60, 70%? Where is the point that we decide that the therapists can
00:09:58
feel the human energy field? Well that's a matter of statistics. So yeah, in your
00:10:05
first year you will learn a lot about methodology for conducting effective
00:10:11
research but also on statistics. So this is an overview of the first half year of
00:10:19
the study program. This is from September till December.
00:10:28
Now psychology has this on behavior and mental processes so science but is also
00:10:36
about behavior and mental processes. What does that mean? What kind of behavior
00:10:41
do we mean? Well actually, all kinds of behavior. so it may be behavior of children of
00:10:51
adolescents, of students, of adults. Maybe about development, maybe
00:10:56
about behavior in schools or in the pub, at the gym or in the train. So we're
00:11:03
interested as psychologists in all kinds of behavior. And the mental processes we are
00:11:08
interested in. Well there are four actually. Perceiving: so what do you see? How do you see?
00:11:15
But not just the technical part of it, but also: how do you interpret what you see?
00:11:20
How do you make sense of all the visual and auditive stimuli that you receive?
00:11:29
Thinking is another mental process. In Psychology we call it cognition.
00:11:34
And feeling is another mental process, we call it emotions.
00:11:40
So we study emotions in Psychology and we also study wanting or motivation as we call it
00:11:47
in psychology. I wanna take a look at the four key sub-disciplines of
00:11:52
psychology. The first one is cognitive psychology.
00:11:58
Here's an example of visual perception. Cognitive psychology it's not just about
00:12:03
visual perception, it's also about language, about memory, about thinking. But here
00:12:10
I'll just give you an example of visual perception and yeah to make sure that we
00:12:17
all see the same thing. I hope we see the same thing. I'd like to hear your thoughts on
00:12:22
what this is? What do you see on the picture? It's a dear yeah can you tell me a
00:12:33
bit more about? It's head is turned. Can you tell me something about the material?
00:12:45
It's wood. Does it pop out? Yes it pops out.
00:12:51
Ok, now I will turn the picture. Just turn it.
00:12:57
And you might not see it immediately, but most people see that after a while that something has changed.
00:13:05
If you don't see it immediately, you have to look away and blink your eyes. to me quite a while to see
00:13:12
It took me quite a while to see it.
00:13:19
Now it's very easy for me to see.
00:13:25
00:13:54
So the deer is now lower than the surface, right?
00:14:00
So that's a funny thing right? Your brain does something that
00:14:04
makes you perceive this very differently. So now it's like jigsaw pieces.
00:14:19
It is how our brain helps us in interpreting what we see. And if you want to know
00:14:24
how this happens, why this happens? Of course you have to study Psychology.
00:14:32
So this is one of the key sub categories of psychology: cognitive psychology.
00:14:39
And it is combined with an introduction to psychology in the first part of the first half
00:14:44
of our study program. So also from September until December you will study cognitive
00:14:51
psychology and introduction to psychology. And we call this block, the
00:14:56
theme of this block is psychology: scope, basis and methods. So these are are the
00:15:02
tools of the human mind you could say. Let's turn to another sub discipline
00:15:09
and that's actually my field. It's developmental psychology. So we study
00:15:14
how people develop. We look at children, we look at older people. We look at their changes
00:15:21
in the way they think and how they feel. Where do they find their support?
00:15:28
Their emotional support for example so as you grow older you will get your emotional
00:15:35
support more from friends than from parents. That's something that we know from psychology.
00:15:40
This is an example of the way children think. We used to think that children thought in the same
00:15:48
way as adults did, but they just knew less. Now we know that they think really differently.
00:16:00
So you can present children for about four years with these two rows
00:16:04
of chips. So two rows: here is one, here's one and you ask the child and it should
00:16:12
be a child around four years, five years of age, and ask them them: do the rows have
00:16:18
the same number or has one more and is it the left or right one?
00:16:25
Children would obviously say they have the same number of chips. You could also do it with candy.
00:16:34
Or whatever, but then you change something and you spread wide the rows.
00:16:39
And then if you ask a child: does one row have more and which one is it? Or is it the same?
00:16:46
They say well obviously the right one has more because it's more. And that's a really
00:16:53
different way of thinking children have. Very different from their parents.
00:17:00
And I think is really interesting to study that.
00:17:04
So developmental psychology is in January, in the first half year. And the theme
00:17:14
of this block is human development and something is still missing in this
00:17:20
schedule and that's the blue band over here that's reserved for tutorials.
00:17:29
All these subjects are courses in which you receive lectures. Cognitive psychology has lectures, developmental psychology.
00:17:38
All have lectures but lectures aren't the place where people feel free to ask questions
00:17:46
or where they can practice their skills writing skills presentation skills or
00:17:50
even have discussions on psychological topics so that's why we also have
00:17:55
tutorials small groups of students supervised by a teacher who is a lot
00:18:03
younger than most of the lecturers. These tutorials have a great atmosphere
00:18:09
for asking questions and discussing together so that part is for tutorials.
00:18:19
In a week you will have four lectures and two tutorials of two hours each.
00:18:28
Let's go to the next sub discipline: social psychology.
00:18:33
There are some pictures of hats red hats, blue hats. Unfortunately I
00:18:38
didn't bring any hats. Because I would love to do this experiment with you.
00:18:44
Because what I predict would happen if I would randomly give you a red hat, a blue hat
00:18:49
then you will see that in the break people with blue hats with cluster,
00:18:56
the red hats will cluster. And that's funny right? That people form
00:19:01
groups automatically. Why do they do that and it would also polarize so you are a
00:19:11
member of the group and you might think that your group is actually better more
00:19:16
intelligent or nicer and the other group not so nice and not so intelligent. So people form
00:19:24
groups and that's what is studied in social psychology, among other things.
00:19:31
Yes, the polarization can become quite large you can see that for example in
00:19:36
the American elections where we have the Trump camp and Clinton camp so it's very
00:19:43
important topic social psychology is about influencing people through
00:19:49
processes, attitudes. And a sub-discipline of that social psychology is
00:19:57
work and organizational psychology and that's also a very important topic I
00:20:03
think very important discipline because you have many years ahead of working now
00:20:09
you are before a very important decision what do you want to study? Which study
00:20:15
will you choose? And it will already point a little bit in the direction of where
00:20:20
your working place will be and that's very important to make this choice very
00:20:25
wisely because working life is about 40 years so it's important to choose wisely
00:20:32
it's also important that a work environment is healthy so to prevent
00:20:38
burnout also to select the right the right place
00:20:45
so recruitment is a subject of a work and organizational psychology but also
00:20:51
creating a healthy work environment
00:20:55
These two subjects of social psychology and work and organizational psychology are
00:21:02
both lectured in the second half year of the study program and that will be in
00:21:08
February and we call this block:
00:21:12
Humans as social animals. Then we get to another sub-discipline. And that's clinical psychology.
00:21:21
Clinical Psychology is I think what most people think of when they think of psychology.
00:21:28
They think of people lying on a couch telling all their problems and that's not what well
00:21:35
that's not what psychology is all about but it's also not the only thing that
00:21:38
clinical psychologists do. So here's an example of someone consulting a clinical
00:21:45
psychologist so clinical psychologists may treat people and not just people with
00:21:51
a disorder but also people with temporary problems maybe in their relation or at work,
00:21:59
So there's more clinical psychology than just treating clients with
00:22:06
psychological disorders.
00:22:10
It's important to know that in the old days we used to think of people with a disorder as people who are
00:22:17
possessed by the devil and fortunately we do not think like that anymore.
00:22:23
We think of psychopathology as dysfunctions in the brain, so I have you're here of two
00:22:32
brains. The right one is a brain of someone who
00:22:36
has schizophrenia and you can actually see that in the brain
00:22:41
because the brain matter in the brain is decreasing when you developed
00:22:46
schizophrenia and also see more larger ventricles in
00:22:52
the brain and an abnormal nerve development. So it's important to know
00:22:57
that psychopathology is now associated, related to brain development. So it's
00:23:06
important to know something of bio psychology if you're interested in
00:23:10
psychology so bio-psychology is about how does our body influence our behavior and
00:23:20
in this course we'll talk about the brain. What are the parts of the brain? So we have
00:23:26
four lobes frontal lobe parietal temporal lobe and in these lobes are cells.
00:23:33
How do they communicate with each other? How do they
00:23:38
transfer information but then it's through chemical processes so these
00:23:45
biological processes, biological aspects of psychology are part of biopsychology.
00:24:05
And the theme of this block is
00:24:11
behavior and biological basis of being and then we get to the last part of the first
00:24:19
year and that's where academic writing in Amsterdam we think is really important
00:24:25
that you are able to write academically but also to read academic papers so there's a lot
00:24:33
attention for that, propaedeutic thesis is what you write at the end of the first year
00:24:41
and you pick a topic, you design your own research question and you can see it as
00:24:47
a closing of an whole year where you have learned a lot about psychology you've learned a
00:24:53
lot you have a lot of knowledge but you also have a lot of skills
00:24:57
so you develop your skills and you can show what you've heard in the propaedeutic thesis
00:25:04
yeah, that's what you do, you design your own research question
00:25:08
you go manage literature search and you come up
00:25:11
with an answer to your question, so this in June communication is the theme of this block
00:25:20
and the new part we have the tutorials again so the tutorial continues throughout the whole year
00:25:30
something that's also typical for Amsterdam is the digital learning
00:25:34
environment the digital learning environment is very handy because it
00:25:40
provides you with assignments but also by the possibility to practice test
00:25:46
questions so what we have here our old questions, questions from old exams
00:25:54
so you can test your own knowledge test where you are, so why do we do that
00:25:59
well we want to have students in keeping up with the pace of the studies also to remember
00:26:06
better Stephen just told you maybe people who were here early already
00:26:12
heard that sleep is something that's very important to help your memory but it also
00:26:17
helps to repeat learning to repeat the knowledge information that
00:26:24
you have to learn so it's good to apply your knowledge in several environments
00:26:31
under a situation that helps you in remembering better and we know that and try to help you with that
00:26:36
there is a practice for tests for exams and both the tutorials and the digital learning
00:26:42
environments we give you good feedback on your study behavior
00:26:49
let's have a quick look at the second year and also I'll give you a look at the third and fourth year
00:26:55
I mean very brief, the second year there's again attention for academic thinking
00:27:02
Methodology statistics and test instruction we also have course on
00:27:08
professional orientation so where do psychologists work, psychologists from
00:27:14
practice come to the University and tell how they work as a psychologist and how
00:27:19
their study is the basis for for their work, second diagnosis is of course
00:27:26
and I coordinate and part the lecture so we learn how to diagnose
00:27:34
because it's quite complicated yeah it's very interesting we together
00:27:40
watch case someone who has some temporary problems in his work and as a
00:27:46
student you think of how or what's happening here what's important
00:27:51
and how can i, what questions should I ask the patient to get to know problem
00:27:58
and the solution we pay attention to the philosophy of psychology so the
00:28:04
fundamentals actually of psychology and there's some room for electives
00:28:09
which gives you the opportunity to also give personal touch to your studies
00:28:16
in the second year the tutorials continue and you also do an research practical
00:28:21
and the research practical also focuses again on academic writing be able to learn about
00:28:29
psychological research by studying the papers so you come up with a question
00:28:36
research question design an experiment, that's new that's different from the first year
00:28:44
you receive some simulated data that you can analyze and aries a complete report
00:28:52
that's about do the research but as a psychologist you see a lot of people
00:28:59
and you need to know how to interact with these people
00:29:04
so you have practical in conversational skills so you learn about empathy about
00:29:12
interviewing people listening summarizing where they say receiving
00:29:16
feedback giving feedback all very important in conversations with people
00:29:22
the third year is a year where you specialize in our program so you choose
00:29:29
one of the disciplines and each discipline has upholstery courses and
00:29:34
some room for electives and there's the bachelor thesis which is quite a large
00:29:42
part in the third year and in this bachelor thesis we work with a group of students
00:29:48
say four / five students and you are being supervised by someone from
00:29:52
scientific staff so together you make up a research question this is a point
00:29:59
where you really collect data with people so you go to in my case childeren
00:30:06
to schools for example questionnaire or test, you may have developed some yourself
00:30:13
you start to collect data and to analyze this data to really answer your research
00:30:19
question you do this in a group supervised by one of the researchers and
00:30:26
but you write your report individually now it is really fun to work with students because
00:30:31
I find that they always come up with really original questions original ideas
00:30:37
that I can learn from actually, that's for me also science, it doesn't really
00:30:44
your age doesn't matter it's about ideas about curious questions
00:30:50
ok, in the fourth year every specialization has at least one master
00:30:57
or several and it is massive track there again compulsory courses
00:31:03
but working life is getting closer so you will do a work placement or an
00:31:09
internship and yeah that really gives you the opportunity to look what it's
00:31:17
like to work as the psychologist you will actually get work as a psychologist
00:31:22
another large part in the fourth year in the master track is devoted to the
00:31:28
master thesis where you do a research project at this time you do it by
00:31:33
yourself well not completely by yourself but you
00:31:35
do it individually and you're being supervised again by one of the
00:31:39
researchers in our department you write your own individual report on your research
00:31:49
yeah so working life after your master track after you finished the master tracks
00:31:54
you will start to work and what are the career opportunities than for all these
00:32:01
various specializations well let's get back to the slang program the first half year
00:32:09
there was all psychology and possible career opportunities are for
00:32:16
example designer tools and buildings have to be user-friendly intuitive maybe so as
00:32:26
an example, in our, we are in a new building now and our hallway well
00:32:31
I think they didn't ask the psychologist to help design the hall because I attempt to walk on the right side
00:32:38
and I have to be because the hallway is not that wide so I attempt to walk one the right side, when I go through a door
00:32:47
I have to pull the door no I have to go to the left actually and pull the door
00:32:51
towards me and then that's not very psychological because you want to be
00:32:56
able to continue so that's where a psychologist could help on making
00:33:00
buildings and tools more user-friendly more intuitive
00:33:05
traffic experts well there are cognitive psychologists among experts as well
00:33:11
think of roads where you can see the line is on the road on which type of
00:33:15
road you are and how fast you are allowed to travel
00:33:20
you also can become a researcher but you can actually become a researcher
00:33:24
with any of the specializations
00:33:30
developmental psychology which career opportunities we have here, well,
00:33:36
school psychology is an opportunity, working in schools with children parents and their teachers
00:33:45
preventing learning problems
00:33:52
teachers can consult the school psychologist for example
00:33:57
health consultants are also often develop psychologist so if you really want to work with children who have more
00:34:05
severe problems it could become health consultants now we switch to the second
00:34:12
half here what are the career opportunities for social psychology well you can think of
00:34:18
designing campaigns to influence behavior of people for example campaigns
00:34:25
on reducing smoking or safe traffic
00:34:31
behavior so social psychology learn how to influence people and use that
00:34:39
knowledge in designing campaigns, you can also become trainers, work on organizational
00:34:47
psychology it's very much related to social psychology here you can think of
00:34:53
career opportunities like retreatment and selection for a company for example or
00:34:59
as an organization consultant you could help companies to develop or provide
00:35:08
healty working environment an environment culture is also one of the career
00:35:13
opportunities for work and organizational psychology
00:35:17
now we get to clinical psychology and here I do have to be honest that you're
00:35:24
not ready to to receive the registrations that you need as a
00:35:30
clinical psychologist so after your masters that will be post academic
00:35:35
teaching education two years to become house psychologist, four years to become psychotherapist
00:35:46
we do have psychologists who have finished their masters and have
00:35:52
immediately started working as we know psychologists in practice and they don't
00:35:57
have all the registrations yet there is somehow hierarchy in psychology
00:36:11
here you can think of career opportunities as neuropsychologist
00:36:14
for example maybe working in a hospital in people who have brain lesions in a
00:36:23
rehabilitation center are also possibilities with all this information you might be curious what
00:36:33
it's like to be studying psychology
00:36:41
these perceptions are involved a lecture self-study and an exam but also a
00:36:48
tutorial so in a tutorial you will have the opportunity to ask questions
00:36:54
questions to your teacher on the study of psychology but also on what it's like to be a students at
00:37:01
the University of Amsterdam, the life of a student
00:37:07
anything about so that's really nice opportunity to ask them questions
00:37:14
summer 15 is day for the taster sessions you can register through UVA.nl
00:37:23
taster week and there is an other taster session in April
00:37:29
and that's for the students will start major so enough from 2018 but maybe the year after
00:37:37
it's important to know that we have a selection procedure selection because
00:37:42
in general there are more applicants than places so how do we select but we want to select students but I think you
00:37:53
can also look at it the other way around you also want to select what's
00:37:59
good for you so this is also a way finding out if studying psychology
00:38:04
is something for you the method is well you're studying during the week and
00:38:11
you do not need any extra preparation
00:38:16
what is it look like you have a lecture day and on this day there will be two lectures and
00:38:22
than there's one week self studies you can write literature that's required
00:38:29
it will be provided to you and you will have acces to the
00:38:33
digital learning environment where you can do the assignments and also practice test
00:38:38
questions then another day there will be exams for the two topic so the lectures
00:38:45
will be on different subjects for each subject there will be an exam these
00:38:51
exams will include both multiple choice and essay questions and these are the
00:38:55
same type of questions that will be used in the first year so the really give you an
00:39:00
idea of what studying psychology is like and also the test tell us and you about
00:39:07
how successful you will be there studying psychology because we use the
00:39:12
same test here as in the same, the same type of test as the first year
00:39:20
in one two selection rounds first one in February lecture day on Februari 9th and test day on February 17th
00:39:33
lecture day on March 2th March 10th you have a question
00:39:41
there are possibilities to do this online there are some restriction
00:39:44
that have to do the distance from Amsterdam that's the main restriction yeah
00:39:50
okay so as I said the selection procedure involves the same type of questions
00:39:57
for example studying in year one or two
00:40:01
to by checking entry requirements submit your enrollment application and study link
00:40:08
you attend the lectures on the lecture day and take the test
00:40:12
and we will inform you about your ranking number and let you know if you are admitted, so that's important
00:40:20
to know the application goes through study link that's an L it closes at
00:40:27
January 15 its question so closing remarks I have given you a lot of
00:40:35
information but there is of course a lot more information
00:40:39
and I didn't tell you so if you want in further information you can go to the
00:40:44
information markets for the study choice order there's also a dieter the RAC so
00:40:52
at the campus the compass and we'll find markets just study choice corner
00:41:01
campus and then well nothing that I need to say good luck with choising it's not my well
00:41:13
I don't want to drag you all into psychology I really want you to make a
00:41:18
good choice so maybe you're interested in psychology studies.
00:41:22
Choose wisely and choose the study that fits you.
00:41:27
And now that I told you all these specifics I want to give the floor to Stefan Jongejan who's a former student of psychology and he can tell you what it's like to study in Amsterdam.
00:42:01
My name is Stefan Jongejan. I'm a graduate student psychology here
00:42:05
at the University of Amsterdam. I'm currently at the specilization, in my Masters, in the area of
00:42:11
brain and cognition. I know a lot about your brain. How memory works
00:42:15
for instance. I've already talked to some of you about how your memory works. And how sleep's invloved in your
00:42:19
memory and I'm certainly going to be talking about some of my experiences
00:42:23
here as a Bachelor student and why I completely and totally enjoyed studying here.
00:42:28
The first thing that I really enjoyed about studying here at the UvA is
00:42:32
the broadness the first year has. So starting in all the different subjects all the
00:42:37
different specialization areas for this psychology and after that having a
00:42:41
really wide spectrum of knowledge within psychology but also being able to decide
00:42:47
for yourself what area of psychology is in your interest in what's totally not.
00:42:51
There were some areas which weren't for me and areas that were totally for me.
00:42:55
Which made choosing a direction really easy for me in the third year.
00:42:59
Another thing I really appreciated is the fact that the academic skills are
00:43:03
really taught here at the University of Amsterdam. For instance academic
00:43:08
writing, this otherwise really boring thing and sometimes it might be what is really
00:43:14
important: you have to learn the rules of how to write a scientific paper in the
00:43:18
area of psychology. There are a lots of international rules to
00:43:23
make it easy for someone in Japan, Korea, America or wherever in the
00:43:30
world that that they can look into a research article and really know where
00:43:33
to look to get specific types of information. So there are rules involved
00:43:38
in this, which we have to learn and we start from the first year
00:43:41
being taught that. Which is a really good thing because eventually when I started
00:43:44
writing my own thesis for my Bachelor program I didn't have to think a lot
00:43:48
about how to implement these rules. They are already a second nature to me
00:43:52
and I'm completely focused on my own research findings and how to put
00:43:55
those down. So that was quite nice, obviously a great thing is that when you start
00:44:01
your third year you've started your own specializations: something you've chosen
00:44:04
for yourself which is really the main focus of the third year, which is quite
00:44:10
pleasant compared to for instance a three-year wide psychology program where you
00:44:15
don't really specialize. Specialization is really something that helped me a lot
00:44:21
in developing my own personal interest, because within the specializations we
00:44:26
also have these collective possibilities to choose certain subjects which fit you.
00:44:30
What also prepares you for the future within your further work life.
00:44:38
Lastly I wanted to talk about some positives I've experienced here at the University and
00:44:42
that's when it comes to the courses: each and every course is being evaluated afterwards.
00:44:47
So our teachers our organization looks at courses and asks students what
00:44:54
was good but what can be done better and that means that every course is
00:44:58
constantly updated to be the best fit for our future students which is quite
00:45:03
nice because you feel like they are actually listening to the needs of students in
00:45:07
their courses instead of just focusing on whatever fits best for the bachelor
00:45:12
itself. So it's quite a good thing you really feel like the university is
00:45:17
listening to you as students and not just throwing information at you.
00:45:23
Lastly, I's also like to talk about this decision process
00:45:28
you're in right now. Maybe the decision what study you're going to
00:45:31
do and what university to go to is quite difficult. Something that
00:45:34
helped me in deciding whether or not to go to the UvA to study
00:45:38
psychology was the QS world ranking list. I don't know if some of you've
00:45:42
heard of it? Google it: QS and then you will be able to look at each and every
00:45:49
different type of study program and look at how it ranks throughout the
00:45:54
world from all the different universities, thousands of universities
00:45:57
Where does this specific program rank in comparison to
00:46:00
all the other universities and what turns out which by a boost for your own ego as
00:46:05
a student here is that the UvA psychology program
00:46:08
ranks number ten worldwide. That's quite high even better
00:46:14
for me at least in my opinion is that it is number one on in Europe.
00:46:19
So if you're gonna study anywhere in Europe and you're going to study psychology
00:46:22
it would be best, at least according to the ranking, to go here. It gives you to come some
00:46:28
kind of ego boost and gives you the feeling that you're actually in the right
00:46:31
place. That you're really getting that most of the study that's possible
00:46:35
and also when you look at the future prospect of your career that it looks just a
00:46:41
bit more brighter than it might look if you'd studied in another University. So that's one of the reasons I
00:46:46
chose to come here and I haven't
00:46:48
regretted any moments. I truly enjoyed it and I hope the same will be for you,
00:46:53
whatever you're going to do. Because enjoyment is a really
00:46:56
large part of studying so choose something that really fits you. Thank you for now, if you
00:47:01
have any questions please get in touch with us and also you can come to us right now
00:47:05
and there's an information market in building E, where two of our colleagues
00:47:10
are standing or students are standing to provide more information and information brochures.
