Changes to my study programme

  Universities are important places where thought and knowledge are developed. They should serve the needs of communities and the country and be useful in developing answers and solutions to today's challenges. I believe, however, that universities have become distant from their communities. They have ceased to dialogue with what is happening today. In my opinion, this can be seen in the way the curriculum is constituted.  Higher education should be as broad and comprehensive as possible. However, my university curriculum is made up of many subjects that are almost pure fillers. I believe that many subjects are not up to date. Instead of producing knowledge, the university has become a space for the reproduction of old-fashioned and overvalued subjects and theories. On the other hand, the length of the degree course is very long. One thing I really appreciate is the infrastructure of the university and the enormous number of complementary courses that can be taken. For example...

Blog post 6- Postgraduate Studies

  The idea of ​​studying after graduation has always been in my head. I have also thought about doing an exchange, but due to the pandemic I believe will no longer be able to do it. This is why doing a postgraduate degree is an idea that excites me. I would like to do it outside the country, not so much for academic reasons, but because of my desire to see new places and live outside my comfort zone for a while. Spain and Germany are two countries that interest me a lot to do a postgraduate degree.

However, if I am honest, I wouldn’t live with my family, but I would like to stay in a place where I could feel completely independent. Regarding to postgraduate studies, I want to do a master’s degree related to psychology, particularly psyc...

My future job

Many ideas come to mind when I think of a job that I would like to do in the future. To be honest, I wouldn't want to imagine myself in a job for the rest of my life. Instead, I would like to have many experiences throughout my life, which allow me to know different areas and realities.  Currently, I am studying psychology and the area that interests me the most is within clinical psychology. I see myself working in the public service, in hospitals, health centers, etc., or also in a private practice. The truth is that I would like to be able to combine types of work. For example, I would like to be able to serve as a clinical psychologist in a private way and also work in some area of ​​public service or other service.  However, beyond my ambitions as a psychologist, I do not see myself working there all my life, sitting in a room attending to people. I am a very restless person and I really want to travel and see many places in my life. I have thought, for example, that I wo...
