It should be illegal for any role in the UK to be £18-£20k p/a. You cannot afford to live with that amount in most places in the UK, it’s actually really problematic.

[@SlavZhelev]

Awesome video! Thanks a lot!!!

[@thepsychologycareersservice]

Thanks Slav! Xx

I remember near the end of my BSc we had a careers session. The advisor said "After this degree you won't actually be qualified in anything but you have earned a lot of transferable skills." Never heard so many people gasped at once! 😂

[@thepsychologycareersservice]

lol omg. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that room. its so sad and true and I wish they would add a few extra years to Psych degree so people can actually qualify. Heres to wishing for the future!

I almost fell of my chair 😳😂

Just a note - Psychologist isn’t technically a protected term, you just need to have go the degree. To work with patients? Of course, you then need it. They planned on protecting it a few years ago but it didn’t go anywhere.

Hello,I have a triple major bachelor's degree from India, with psychology as one of the subjects, but I'm having trouble getting admission into psychology programs. Counselors have recommended that I complete a conversion course in psychology. If I follow this route and then pursue a PhD in psychology abroad (excluding the UK), will this approach generally satisfy the entry requirements for phd?

[@mrsdhuha]

Hello, many thanks for this video. Very helpful. Would part time role in psychology keeps you progressing? Or does it even exist? For someone who already has a job and can't take too much risk in career change. Many thanks

[@rewanajjar7333]

Hi thanks for the video! I’ve noticed that many pwps leave the role after 1-2 years of getting the job and I was wondering if you think it is worth it to go through the competitive application and interview stages just to leave the role within a few years?

[@thepsychologycareersservice]

Every role in psychology is competitive therefore its your personal drive for your career in psychology which determines how long to keep applying for roles. Also people use the PWP role as a stepping stone when it wasn't originally made for this. You can make a wonderful career by staying as a PWP and progressing to senior posts too. The issue is that people that aren't serious about the role get on to the training and then move on very quickly but also the role itself can be difficult to sustain because some services giving high caseloads to their pwps which makes the role really high pressured. Hope that answers your Q!x

[@rewanajjar7333]

@@thepsychologycareersservice ahh okay that makes sense, yes it does thank you very much! x

[@selamkibrom8045]

I did not know that it takes this long to be a psychologist

How much scope for psychopathology

[@thepsychologycareersservice]

Hey, thanks for your comment. We love answering your questions. Just to clarify do you mean to study psychopathology or to study in psychotherapy? Psychopathology may be a module in some post-graduate study options, whereas for psychotherapy there are particular routes you can take to qualify as a psychotherapist.

I want to study till masters.. so should i choose social work in my masters??

[@thepsychologycareersservice]

Hi there, thanks for your question, we love answering them. Both social work and psychology are great options for your masters, it's worth considering what it is that you want to do post-masters - this might help you decide which masters course is for you.
