Taking a further educational step and deciding where to specialise and obtain a master’s degree could be a difficult time. Remembering myself as soon-to-be graduate in BA psychology I was eager to find a university and postgraduate programme which would deliver top-quality education in one years’ time. Thankfully, my dear friend recommended looking into clinical psychology programme offered by Erasmus University Rotterdam, which instantly felt like a perfect match. The programme has a strong focus on practical skills and theoretical knowledge regarding adult’s psychopathology and its research. With two possible tracks to choose from: clinical or research, I believe that anyone is able to find what matches their interests best. Personally, I followed the clinical track which has taught me a variety of treatment techniques within couple and behavioural-cognitive therapy and confidently prepared me for the future counselling.
Nevertheless, it is an intensive programme, requiring a lot of individual and group efforts to solve problems that are encountered in the field. We were often given material which required deeper and unconventional thinking and inspired us to dive into topics that are a current or future focus in psychology. And if in doubt, thankfully the professors and tutors who had extensive experience and were highly skilled professionals themselves, were always happy to help and navigate through the unknown.
