Studying Psychology as an International Student | Australia

[@chococone591]

I can’t believe I’ve landed on such a gem. Thank you so much for this video, it has helped me so much ❤. I’m a marketing graduate and I’m honestly thinking about going into psychology because I’m realising my passion for it. But was so confused about how to transition and the possible pathways. Thank you for taking the time to answer the questions and explaining it so well. ❤

[@yash9801]

This is so kind! Thank you so much and please send through any questions you might have and I should be able to make a part 2 :)

[@gouravmakkar_]

hi can you plz let me know the demand of psychologist in australia as compared to nursing? right now im going to take msc psychology from uk and which course i should choose in australia after degree from uk.

[@yash9801]

I would say the nursing pathway is a lot easier to start working and more straightforward than psychology. Psychology takes 6 years of study and its very very competitive to get into a masters.

hey, I am currently in grade 12. i want to pursue my career in psychology feild and study bachelor of arts in psychology! i am thinking to pursure my BA IN PSYCH in australia, so can you let me know if it"s actually good in aus? and also can you please suggest me some colleges there? and is there any scope for my future settlement in the country as a psychologist?

[@mhraena]

Hey, any update on studying psychology in Australia? I too cleared my 12th this year.

[@idkmanya]

heyy so I had a question that if I do my ba in psychology from my home country and then plan to go to Australia for masters or doctorate would it be a problem? since my undergrad degree is not apac accredited

[@Preeti-tc4kn]

Hi, I have completed a bachelors in science and masters in applied psychology. I was thinking of applying for an assessment for my masters degree in psychology to further pursue post grad diploma in psychology in Australia. After completing this, What would be the best pathway to get the clinical registration?

[@aashichhatiawala6968]

Hey! I am an international student just starting my 4th yr at Deakin. I agree no one will care abt ur marks later if you have the skills and experience, but how abt to get into the 4th yr and masters? I believe marks do matter along with relevant experience for that purpose. What are your thoughts?

[@yash9801]

Hey Aashi! That’s a really great point of clarification :) Marks do play a large part in getting into 4th year and Masters. It’s more once you have your qualification and a psychologist, no one will ask you what university you went to / what your grades were. That being said, you don’t always have to get insanely high marks to get into a programs! It’s definitely split between personal statement, interview and experience quite evenly :)

[@kaurharu1130]

Hie Aashi , ig you are in deakin and even i have applied for deakin i have done my 3yr bsc in clinical psychology from india n now i wanna persue clinical. I wanna knw if u did ur 4th yr frm deakin cz i have opted for msc counselling psych in deakin .

Hi, thank you so much for sharing. I graduated with a 4-year psychology degree over 10 years ago, how can I register as a provisional psychologist for master programme? please shed some light. Thank you!

[@arunimathomas6799]

Hiii, thank you for all these great videos on psychology! So I completed my bachelors degree in psychology (3 yrs) from India and I'm definitely interested to pursue masters In Australia. Please give me insights over what degrees to choose next to go clinical psych pathway. Like is a honors necessary for me to get into masters or should i do something else. Thanks~

[@yash9801]

Hey Arunima! Thank you for your kind words :) If your undergrad was not APAC accredited (even if it was psychology) then you will have to do a Graduate Diploma in Psychology. After this then you have to apply for a 4th-year degree (e.g., honours, grad dip advanced, grad dip professional psychology) and then you will be able to practice clinically!

[@vasundhraverma7553]

Hi Aruni!!! I have similar duration of study... so did you get your 3 year degree evaluated first from APAC??

[@vasundhraverma7553]

@@yash9801 So, aren't we eligible to directly do a masters in clinical psychology first?

[@arunimathomas6799]

​@@vasundhraverma7553 nope, apparently i wasn't eligible to do a direct masters in clin psy, so, i prolly had to start all over in aus itself :(

[@moonriversou]

​@@arunimathomas6799wait how do you check if it's APAC accredited???

[@andrewdugdale7043]

What happens if you are a UK individual with an undergraduate degree in another subject that is not Psychology. However said student has studied and passed an MSc Psychology in the UK. What happens then in Australia as said student hasnt studied 6 years psychology but has studied at undergraduate level and MSc Psychology?

[@bencarden366]

Hey Andrew, I have some insights on this! Am currently going through the process and it is indeed possible (just need to get your conversion course APS approved). Happy to chat it through.

[@torim7342]

⁠@@bencarden366I am almost finished with my MSc in Psychology ( it’s a conversion course) and I am currently considering what my options abroad are. Do you have any idea if I could go straight to a masters in Australia ? Thanks

[@bencarden366]

Hi@@torim7342 , yes it is my understanding that you can get your master's accredited by the APS. It depends which conversion you did, but it should be considered as being four years (bachelor's + honours). All the best !

[@gouravmakkar_]

​@@bencarden366 hi im just planning to go uk can you plz help for choosing best course for me im confused between masters in public health or msc psychology which should i choose? in which i get better salary in future?? and my plan to go australia after 1 year masters from uk plz reply?? anyone

[@Dkhey8]

Hy, i am doing my bachelor's in psychology in India. I would like to pursue dclinpsy in Australia. But I'm not sure if it is possible. Does it have any suggestions?? Or is it possible for an international student?? I think dclinpsy is 4 yrs in Australia. Bt some of the countries only have 3 yrs. What should i do?? Or is it okay to do forensic psychology? What i have to study to become that??

[@vishal__bhardwaj__]

Broh have you decided ? Or have any lead on that

[@TanuSingh-dx6iu]

Heyyy. I have a question i want to pursue psychology but my percentage in 12 class was 78 percent so is there a chance for me to get in any good college there. PLZZZ can you clear my doubt so that i don't have to waste my time on this if there is no scope

[@yash9801]

Hey Tanu! Unfortunately I cannot answer this questions as I don't know what that grade converts to. Just apply and see what happens :) No university will tell you if you will get in until you make a formal application.

[@tastytravelz]

hey ! Grateful for these videos ....Like am pretty confused if i wanna opt psychology...Maybe am not gud at it but i feel like am made for it just confused any tips please will be very thankful ❤

[@giselleroselly6596]

Hii, thank you for such an informational videos!! I am currently doing my bachelor degree of psychology in Malaysia and I'm pretty interested to pursue master and if possible career as psychologist in Australia. Do you have any information about university with a more affordable/cheap side in terms of tuition fees? Cause I don't think I could get like scholarship to support my study 🥲 Also is there any opportunity to part time job/work you could do while you study? Thankss ^^

[@yash9801]

Hi Giselle, I don't know what the most affordable university would be, so I would recommend giving different places a call/ looking at their sites. It might be worth asking about their payment plans which might make paying slightly easier. You could look at a regional/ rural university as the cost of living might be cheaper, but in turn, the uni may not have as much funding? There is the possibility to work but it depends on the person. I have consistently worked between 15-25 hours a week, depending on how many classes/clients I had in a week. I could make some content on how I live on a student budget if that would be helpful!

[@giselleroselly6596]

@@yash9801 Thank you so much for the reply. I've checked several website for the regional uni and some other with merit tuition reduction system which I think it's more achievable. Also do you mind if I ask about your current study? Because I'm also interested in pursuing educational psychology. Is it research-focused? or it's like focusing more on the practical work? Yes I would really appreciate if you would make the video about student budget and how much can you cover from part time work (if it's possible for international student) Sorry for the long reply, but thank you so much for all the informations you've given

Hello! I'm currently doing my GDP, your videos are very useful and pleasant to watch!🥰 I would like to ask are all Master of Professional Psych degrees from all Uni in Aus require an Honour degree? When i did my research last year some Uni doesn't require an honour to enter the program, but the master's degree might be longer. I asked around and everyone had a different answer.🥲
