During our time in Europe, we visited two universities, where we were able to sit in on classes and listen to the research projects of their graduate students.
Both universities offered a program similar to ECU’s Health Communication.
The most interesting lesson we learned was at Universita Vita-Salute San Raffaele, where we were taught about psychology and communication.
We learned the importance of the mind and how it can affect a person’s perception of themselves and specific situations. Where communication and psychology come together is when a person starts to talk about the importance of psychology and how a person perceives life. When you add communication and psychology together, conversations broaden and it becomes easy to learn about yourself, your mind, society and everyday thoughts.
