    Really enjoyed this video, it's so informative, I am currently an honours student at Unisa and there are a LOT of people in 3rd year and honours who don't know what it takes to become a psychologist...

      True🙏🏼, and its important to know from the beginning coz it's a huge decision and going in uninformed is not good at all

      Is there a way in which one is able to extend their knowledge in this field of expertise at Unisa? I did a diploma and a degree in accounting but I have been thinking of psychology these past few years but I'm scared of not doing it because I don't know what it entails

    Hi guys. I read on Twitter that New Zealand offers a lot of employment opportunities even for internationals, that's if you would consider working abroad, especially with the hardships of finding employment in our country. Good luck in digging more of that info.

    This is the same process that people have to go through to become charted accountants. Most people think that an undergraduate in bcom accounting will make you a charted accountant. It is a 6-8 year process.

    Very true very informative. I'm a research psychologist. And I love it but I've noticed that alot of students don't understand and also institutions don't really explain or can I say give guidance to students

    • @ChristinaJuly
      @ChristinaJuly  4 года назад +3

      I soooo wanted to be a Research Psychologist 😍 and you're 100% right!! I also did not have a lot of information about the process and institutions arent as vocal about it too.

      @@ChristinaJuly it's a good thing you've started your channel u will really be helping people out there that don't really understand what it takes and the levels to it. Also what careers can come from different levels. And branching out. But one thing I've learnt is that my biggest support comes from ur lecturers. Once I build bonds with them they can make things move for u. They give to those that ask, push, force and fight.

      Very True!!! Not really for Honours but Masters DEFINITELY!! START NOW with volunteering and services

    • @leratomaleka7333
      @leratomaleka7333 4 года назад +12

      In my experience not really but having that information of your participantions will make ur CV look good but clinical you write a selection test and get interviewed before the selection process and most universities that offer clinical psychology only take about +- 16 to 20 students. So I would say listen in class tests are general basically work you have learned from 1st year all the way through hons.
      I know same goes for the rest except research psychology no tests are written but u must get above 65 or a 70 for your research report undergraduate and hons to qualify to do a masters. U must understand the dynamics of research it will help u alot. So do not skip those research methodology classes they are important!!
