Postgraduate Studies

 Hi everyone, How have you been?

Well, this time i will talk about postgrade studies. Currently, I am second year student of social work in the University of Chile. This career has a duration of five years and in the last year one can choose whether to immediately take a master's course. that is, the curriculum of social work at the university of chile is created so that in the fifth year you can choose to continue your studies by taking a master's course. in this case, it is very beneficial for students with free tuition, since it covers one year's expenses (master's degree lasts two years). 

I think that within the labor field and the demands of this, it is necessary to continue studying after the degree, if there is the possibility and the means to do so. I like the idea of doing postgraduate studies, especially in terms of learning more and becoming more professional in areas that I also like and that I did not choose because I chose social work, such as psychology. In fact, I entered to study social work having in mind that later I would like to complement it with psychology.

I have already said that I would like to choose psychology as a postgraduate study, but I would also love to do a postgraduate study in history, it is what would encourage me to finish my degree and continue studying. I have taken courses in psychology (social) and history (contemporary social and Chilean social) and they have been my favorite. Also, I would like to add that a particular topic that calls my attention and I would like to work on something related to that is "Memory and Human Rights", study and work on the "social trauma" from psychology, history and social work. These courses are offered by the house of studies and the museum of memory (I saw it recently).

 I reviewed the links posted by the professor and the truth is that they caught my attention and I can say that they are very similar to the curriculum of the university of chile.

thanks for reading, bye.
