POST GRADUATE STUDIES

Hi all!

It is very difficult for me to plan what I will do after graduating, because I study psychology and I have not yet decided which specialty of my career I will choose. However, currently the area that I enjoy studying the most is that of educational psychology, and being able to specialize in it later in my career is an idea that I really like. Although I am open to explore all the branches that psychology has, such as Legal Psychology and Community Psychology (both of which have also attracted my attention), I imagine myself practicing my profession in schools and I am excited to be able to do so. This is because the subject of education in Chile, its dynamics, training systems and schemes, inequality within the educational system and the logics that operate in it, have always interested me a lot. Furthermore, as a future psychologist, I aspire to be able to get involved with the communities in a closer and more integrated way 

and not within the clinical framework.

Another idea that I have considered is to study something related to Differential Education in the future. I would really like as a future professional, to be able to acquire the pedagogical skills necessary to respond to the special educational needs of girls, boys and young people with communication and language disorders or different intellectual capacities, in order to help them achieve a full adult life and active. Referring again to the educational system, it is very important to pay attention to the diversity and different capacities of students, to reduce exclusion gaps in society, for example.

That's it! Thank you for reading!
