This is an INCREDIBLY helpful and insightful video!!! They should show this in every high school so that students know what they’re signing up for. No one would have guessed how much math and statistics is in psych!! And that bottleneck is awful!!!
thank you so much for this video!! i've been searching for a straightforward guide like this for a while now, just to set my own expectations and further solidify my choice to pursue psychology! i'm a high school student right now & this video very much helped
I'm glad it helped you! I still wasn't sure if I was on the right path until about 6 months ago. As long as you moving in the general direction of what you like doing, you'll be fine :)
Yeah! Especially for international students :( A lot of Masters do offer CSP funding which is great tho! My total HECS debt for undergrad and masters will be around $35,000 (~$26,000 Undergrad + $9000 Masters) which is pretty decent. However, I'm three years behind my peers who completed a three-year degree and get into the workforce straight away :') I'm still happy to invest my time into a rewarding career tho, so its worth it for me :)
Thank you so much for sharing so much insight, especially regarding Bachelor Psych/ Psychological Science. It is evident you really want to help people you amazing soul. Your channel is a blessing.
this was such an amazing video!! I learnt so much from this and learnt about the things I should expect. it really shows me what I’m signing up for, thanks :)
Yeah, it's good to know what you're in for! Don't let it discourage you though :) For example, I can not comprehend maths (I got like a 25 in methods haha) but need up doing 4 years of it in uni and I made it to masters :)
That last point is the most important one emotionally draining. That point is really never shared and a lot of the client's you see will not understand that you have a full time job as much as you are trying to help them.
Thankyou soo much for the info, very helpful!!!. Im sorta dissapointed u said maths is in this course but statistics and coding arnt algebra so i reckon ill fair well, thanksss
I'm so glad I could help! Don't even be stressed about that math aspect! I was horrible at methods and I'm still able to navigate through the statistics :) If I can do you, then 1000% so can you!
You can always transfer degrees if you change your mind? What draws you to each career? Choosing a degree depends on your value as well :) Does job prospect matter to you, salary, space for career progression, subject matter? Try talking to optometrists or psychologists that you know and ask about the pros and cons of their job! Just know you can always change :)
I'm planning to study Bachelor of Psychological Science in Australia and I'm a high school graduate . I'm totally worried about choosing psychology and job opportunities. Please tell me all about these.
thank you for your video! I’m a student graduating high school this year and am really considering taking psychology as a major. But i’m an international student so, in order to save some money, instead of coming to australia was thinking of doing my bachelors and honours from the branch school monash malaysia and than coming to australia for my masters. would this be ideal and would i still find jobs
Hey A M! Congrats on graduating highschool! As long as the degree you enroll in is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council Limited (APAC), then you will be able to practice as a psychologist in Australia! I know Monash has a Malaysia Campus, so it could be worth looking into a B.Psych/ Arts/ Science Degree over there. However, I would suggest getting in contact with Monash Malaysia Campus to double-check before you enroll! In terms of getting a job as a psychologist, you will need to complete a master's degree first. Most universities in Aus reserve a few spots for international students. I believe securing that master's spot is the most difficult part. I have not had experience applying for psychology jobs as I just finished my bachelor's, so I can't comment on that too much! Sorry for the long answer but I hope this helps and feel free to ask me any other questions!
Hey, thanks for the video.. I am currently in my 3rd(final) year of bachelors in psychology- India.. And I am planning to go abroad for my master's .. Would you recommend Australia for the same..? Also which field would be best? Can a counselor get a good job after masters in Australia?
Hey Saumya! I think the master's courses in Australia are great but it's hard to say which field is the best since I am not working just yet! I actually made a video ruclips.net/video/TCPKx5MUahQ/видео.html on different jobs you can get with your degree if you want to check that out.
@@yash9801 hii can international students actually get these jobs after masters ? I heard they dont give them and priotize domestic students...is that true that we will be left out ? And...is getting into masters hard ? Getting registered is hard ? I heard some say that....
Hey Kat, congratulations on enrolling into uni!! If you choose to pursuit psychology, it is definitely still doable through the arts pathway (although a little bit harder)! I know so many people who have :) If you find that psych is what you want to do, then you can easily transfer into a B.Psych at the end of your first year (considering your Weighted average mark is 70%). Otherwise, it's great doing two degrees!
@@yash9801 thank you so much for these tips! i was just wondering whether it's easy to switch from a bachelor of arts into B.Psych (honours) and whether there would be any spots left in that program
@@kritijain5935 No worries Kriti :) Transferring courses at Monash Uni generally requires a 70 WAM and the relevant prerequisite units for the course! I would recommend you book a session with a faculty course advisor to discuss your options! I don't think a shortage of spots should be a problem as the psych cohort is always growing each year :) If psych is what you're keen on, switching will definitely make your life a lot easier!
hey Yash, this video is great! Thank you for the insights. Just a small question: do you think that a psychology degree is worth it? As in does the cost add up to the pay scale?
Hey Krishna, that’s a tough question! There is a lot of study involved at it takes a while before you can enter the workforce and a psychologist so it’s definitely something to consider. For me it’s personally worth it but it depends on each person!
Thank you so much for making these videos!! I live in south america but im an Australian citizen, high school student and plan on studying at Monash.. what is the difference between diploma major in arts then into psychology and a bachelors degree honours in Psychology and which one is more worth it? Your vids has helped me a lot, thank you :)
Thank you so much Macarena, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! This is going to be a long answer so feel free to ask any questions if something doesn't make sense. I think the first distinction to make is the difference between a diploma and a bachelor's degree. The arts diploma is designed to help students transition into a bachelor's degree at Monash. Therefore you might as well try to get into a Bachelor's degree from the start (whether that be a bachelor of arts, science or psychology (honours). This will not only save you time but also money! From here you need to decide if you want to do the psychology (honours) degree [www.monash.edu/study/courses/find-a-course/2021/psychology-m3005?domestic=true] or complete an APAC accredited psychology major within your arts degree [www.monash.edu/study/courses/find-a-course/2021/arts-a2000?domestic=true ]. If you're set on psychology, I recommend the bachelor of psychology (honours) degree as the grade requirement to get into honours (4th year psychology) is lower than if you did an arts or science bachelor's degree. You can have a look at pathways to becoming a psychologist here: www.psychologycouncil.org.au/pathways_registration_psychologist
@@yash9801 Thank you so much! I appreciate your reply and the information was clear. I’ve been emailing monash and i’ve received replies on pathways and entry requirements being international although being an Australian citizen. Your videos are great and i wish you the best luck. Thanks for your time
@@macarenalindermeyer5245 I feel your pain, finding a course can always be so overhwleming! I recommend trying to maintain a 70% grade average in your first year of uni so if you do change your mind, you will be able to transfer courses with ease :) Feel free to submit a Monash inquiry if you want to ask Monash any specific questions! connect.monash.edu/askmonash/s/contact
Hi , I want to ask that which are the best uni for masters in psychology or dpsyc course in Australia both academic wise and cost wise and also as I am an international student so my course is of 3 years, so can I do my honours in monash uni ? Sorry for so many questions but Thanks 😊 this video really helped
Hey Jahanvi! I'm glad this helped you out :) Choosing a uni can be so overwhelming, but to answer your question: there is not really a best uni academic wise per se. Once you get into the workforce, it's more about what experience you have rather than the prestige of your university. The deciding factors would likely be the cost of the degree and whether you are eligible for any scholarships! You'll need to double-check which universities have the course you want (For example, Monash doesn't offer a Masters's in clinical psychology). And yes you could do your honours at Monash, given that you meet the grade and requisite requirement. Feel free to ask me more questions :)
Hey Samriddhi! You're taught how analyse data through statistical analysis on a coding software (I used R). For example how to code a general linear model, linear mixed model etc! Depending on your honours project, you may need to code tasks and do extra statistical analysis. You will be provided with all the resources you need to learn how to do these things so don't stress :)
I really struggled with maths at school but am looking into going on to study psych now... do you think for someone who basically failed math it will be hard to grasp the mathematical concepts in the psych, honours and masters?
Hi Rach, I am also still not very good at maths, but when it's placed into teh context of psychology or a project you are interested in - you begin to appreciate it a little bit. I know it's hard, but try to see it as a tool that will help you understand more about psychology, as opposed to a subject. It's good to know your area of weakness so you can make sure to set aside enough time to really understand the material and make sure you ask for help! That's what your tutors and lecturers are there for! Good luck :)
Hey Benita !! Ngl but every year I’ve waited until I’ve started the class to see if we actually use the textbooks. I’ve only spent my money on one new textbook/workbook but the rest I find online PDF’s for or just don’t use it 🙃 Textbook are sooo expensive and I recommend waiting to see if you actually need them or find free PDF’s floating around!
Psychology (fifth Australian and New Zealand Edition) by Lorell J. Burton - its huge so i would recommend the digital copy if you can get it, its really good and it isnt boring to read either
Hey Yash! I’m starting my Psychology Honours Bachelor Degree at Monash during the Sem 1 2022 batch. I wanted to ask do u still have ur lecture notes and if yes would u be willing to share them with your fellow junior haha! Do let me know! :)
Hey Diva! Unfortunately I don’t have my lecture material from semester 1 and I don’t actually write proper notes HAHA 🥲 I usually delete all my stuff at the end of each year because my laptop doesn’t have sufficient storage, sorry 🥲
I am from nepal i also want to study bachelor of psychology in the newzealand so but i don't idea about university and also about this course in newzealand about easy and future carrer.. plz can you tell me..
i've seen lots of comments online about how the monash bachelor of psychology (honours) is poorly run. is it really as bad as it is made out to be? thanks!
Hey Melisa! This is definitely a tricky question as there are two sides to the coin. Monash Psych expects a very high standard of work for D and HD marks, which can often be discouraging. Unfortunately, feedback is often minimal, so understanding how you can improve for the next assignment can often seem impossible. For me, I looked to external resources (e.g., reading high-quality research papers) to understand how to write a good paper rather than relying on my tutor's comments. Sometimes there can be inconsistencies between tutors' instructions, but along as you do what YOUR tutor wants you will be fine. Psych forces you to do A LOT of self-learning which is annoying, yet the best way to learn. Overall I enjoyed the challenge and it pushes you to produce work you didn't think you were capable of! Let me know if this answered your question/ have any more questions :)
@@yash9801 yes thank you that really helped! i was just deciding whether to do psych at monash or melb uni through the bach of arts after hearing all the negativity surrounding monash. what sort of stuff do you learn and do most of the assignments require you to write papers? also do you know if this course will allow me to go into forensic psychology in the future or is it just mainly toward clinical psych and neuropsych. thanks :)
@@mel4065 No worries :) I had to make the exact same decision as well! I chose Monash for two reasons. 1) Physically closer to me 2) The B.psych has a guaranteed entree into honours if you achieve a 70% average in your 3rd-year core subjects, compared to other unis which did not have that. I'm not too sure what Melbourne is like in comparison to Monash, but either way, they are both highly regarded (although that doesn't really matter in the job world). You have lecturers throughout the year which teach you just straight content and then you have tutorials that help you with your assignments. The content of your assignments aren't all explained by your lecture so you need to always do additional research by looking at journal articles. Luckily you don't have to write an actual journal article for assignments, but you do lab reports, lit reviews, case studies etc ( maybe ill make a video on this haha ). The job opportunities lie in clinical psychology whereas forensic and neuro-psych aren't as high! Although this could change, it's been the trajectory for some time!
@@yash9801 yes, i was struggling because monash is further from me but the guaranteed entree into honours is the main reason im leaning towards it! you say that not everything is explained by the lectures so do you think that it will be a struggle to keep up? and yess you should definiately do more videos about this!! also are you going into your honours year this year and are you planning to do your masters as well? i just thought that neuro psych was also an option as well as i saw that you could get a 'doctor of psychology in clinical nueropsychology (DPsych (ClinNeuro))' in your postgraduate degree. do you mean that the job opportunities for neuropsych and forensic psych are not as high? but do you think they will still be an option if i do this course (i havent decided what type of psychologist i want to be and want to see if they can still be an option). thanks! sorry for bombarding you with questions haha:)
Hey there! I’m in my 30s and I’m looking to start a psych course. I actually do IT currently but I want to do psych after hours and weekends. I currently have my masters and bachelor in IT. Would you know what the quickest way I can fast track my course from here ?
So happy that you’ve taken that step! If you have a bachelor’s in IT, you will need to do a Graduate Diploma of Psychology before you can apply for honours/ graduate diploma of psychology advanced/ graduate diploma of professional psychology!
Hey Ishwarya! To become a psychologist you will first have to do a graduate diploma in psychology then you can apply for 4th year and then finally master's! Check this website out to see the different pathways to registration: www.monash.edu/medicine/psych/pathways-and-careers/study-pathways
Thank you Yash, this is a great video. I'm a future student in psychology and I'm still choosing universities among USYD, UNSW, MQ and UQ. I'd love to exchange in the US or Singapore in year 2 or 3. Also considering to do a masters degree in the US if I can. Do you have any suggestions on these 4 universities? I will be studying full time for the 1st year/semester then transit to a Part-time basis. I would like to find some volunteer or part-time jobs later next year so gain some practical experience. I know it is really competitive to get the honours place. Thanks in advance!
Hey Eva! Sorry for the slow reply :) What did you end up choosing? I think defs check with your uni in advance whether an exchange is a possibility. If you go into a straight psychology degree as opposed to a general science or arts degree, it tends to be more complex. I wasn't able to do exchange for this reason sadly :( Doing a master's degree overseas may be difficult if you want to practice in Aus in the future. The requirements to becoming a psychologist significantly vary between the US and AUS! Definatley try to volunteer as much as you can in first - third year! It gets pretty hard to do this in fourth year :)
Hi! I took psychology(arts) as my major at Monash. Can I ask for your social mediaa, I want to ask for your advices if you don't mind. Btw this video is sooo informative, thank youuu!
I’m planning to go into psychology. Could you guide me what’s the average salary for a clinical psychologist in Australia and what’s the max range with years of experience?. Thanks.
Mam basically engineering student I am interested in studying psychology but get wexed with memorising and studying for exams and I don't have goood memory is the same thing in studying psychology
That's okay! Most of your grades in psychology are derived from assignments that require high-level writing skills rather than memory skills. You may need to put some extra care and effort into exam preparation as that requires some memorization! Either way, the content is interesting so you will find it easier to memorise as its naturally more enjoyable :)
I have completed my masters in Psychology from India..now I'm staying in Australia along with my husband how can apply for general registration with my overseas qualifications
hey Sreelakshmi! Thank you so much for your question. I would talk to AHPRA or the APS in terms of wanting to get your overseas qualifications recognised!
Ted Alen Hey! So during honours most projects require you to work with softwares such as R studio, python, matlab ect to handle and treat you data. This requires coding but I’ve heard it alright since a lot of codes to perform certain functions can be found online :)
It’s not unheard of!! I was got in straight after honours, but I know most people did work experience in-between. I think getting work experience is great because you have more to contribute during class :)
Hey Chelchel! They are essentially the same thing as you still have to "get into" honours. I would double check if doing a bachelor of psychology(honours) allows you a guaranteed entree into honours if you get a certain grade!
hello may i ask? is it good to study psychology in new zealand? why? and is it good to work psychology in new zealand? why?😭 sorry i was searching but about this topic but no one appeared in net
hello. i can't finish the the whole video because of the internet connection. i would like to ask if i can study psych and if i already have the degree, can i study law and use it as a pre-law?
Hey! Yeah, you can defs transition into psych :) You may need to do a graduate diploma to make sure you have all the APAC requirements. Something like this: online.monash.edu/online-courses/psychology-courses/online-graduate-diploma-psychology/
hey ! much needed help ! can a non sci background student study psychology like im a commerce student so can i ? Im planning to come australia for psychology
Heyyy Navya! Of course, you can :) I think it might even give you an edge with the numerical/technical side of psych. Tbh the most important skill in psych is your ability to write concisely and well, so if you can do that/ are willing to learn how to do that, you will be fine! Also, you can even combine your interests and go into organizational psychology later on :) SO having your commerce degree will be a huge asset!
@@yash9801no no actually am just in grade 11 and took commerce as my stream so later on maybe ill do bachelors in psychology like after 12th without any degree so thats why i asked
@@navyasehgal2239 Oh yes I get you now! That's fine as long as you meet the subject prerequisites for your course. For example, I needed to have scored above 27 in English to be considered for a bachelor of psychology (honors) at Monash! Otherwise, I could do whatever subject I wanted :) After you get into a course you can transfer across to most other degrees, so long as you maintain a 70% average grade! So there are always options :)
Hey Trupti! I'm honestly not sure what the most affordable program would be. If you do end up applying, make sure you apply for international scholarships and see if your course is eligible for a study grant!
Hey, I’m in the application process right now I was wondering if a ATAR of 82 is good enough. I’m afraid I won’t get in but I really want to do this course
Hey Farzin! I wouldn't stress at all if I were you :) When applying on VTAC make sure you completed a SEAS application which will help! Also if you don't get in with seas or the Monash guarantee you can always do a bachelor of arts or science and then transfer into this degree in your second year! You just need to make sure you're doing the APAC accredited extended major in psychology and maintain around 70 WAM for the best chance of transferring into the course. You got this :)
Hey! There is no difference in the first three years of the degree! For both courses, you still have to get into an honours year, if you would like to register as a psychologist! Put simply, there is no undergrad course you can enrol in after year 12 which automatically gets you a place in an honours program. An honours program is the 4th year on the path to registration! Think of it like a mini PhD with course work :)
hello there. I am thinking of applying ma psychology in Australia from Nepal. is it possible and what are requirements? help and I have a different degree in bachelor (social work with psychology)
Hey Terisha! It's definatley possible :) I would give the university a ring and see what your option are! The requirements are very different for each uni, but generally, you will need a certain grade standard and pass the English proficiency tests.
Hello there.. I am from India. I completed my pharma D (Doctor of pharmacy) but i am really interested in doing psychology.. Can u tell me if i can go for PsyD directly?
Hi Yash Is it necessary to do a Bachelor of Psychology if I already have a Bachelor's degree or can I just directly get into a Graduate Diploma/4th year?
Hey Ray! Thanks for your question :) You must complete an undergraduate degree and an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited major in Psychology with a weighted average of at least 70% (this can change based on uni) in the second and third-year subjects within the psychology major to be eligible for the Graduate Diploma/honors year in Psychology/4th-year honours! Hope this helps :)
Thanks for your comment! Tbh it doesnt really matter what university you go to :) I've only had experience with two so it's a difficult to answer this!
Congratulations Kiara! That's so amazing :) At the start of the year, I didn't really do much study. I would just use this time to really kick-start your honours project before any assignments roll in. I would also just start writing your thesis introduction. It's likely that your intro will be completely different but it's good to just start writing. Towards the end of the year, I would be doing maybe 8 hours of actual study. Don't focus too much on the "time" and don't be intimated by the hours as you'll find the motivation to do it :) You will get there, trust me!
@@yash9801 Ah thank you so much! Just saying I’m new to your channel but you are really inspiring me. I hope your mental health and everything goes well. Good luck :) !
Hey!! That's a hard question to answer, I feel like any university is very good for psych tbh :) Melbourne uni and Monash are ranked at the top, however, I feel like Deakin, ACU, and Swinburne also have great programs! To answer your second question, according to a study published in 2010 by Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton, your level of happiness doesn't increase once you earn 75k USD (which is 96K AUD). A psychologist definitely has the potential to make that much! So in short, yes that is technically enough to live a satisfied life :)
Bianca!! Nooo defiantly keep at it :) I'm still so bad at maths and with a lot of help from uni, you can get through it :) Also, if by the end of undergrad you really hate maths/thesis writing and want to do a master's - you can find a master's that doesn't have a thesis component!
Hi...I have done my masters in applied psychology...now I want to plan to study more in Australia ..can you please suggest me what course or diploma I can choose in Australia... moreover..I am interested in guidance and counseling. Please giving me some advice.
Hey Savita! I have only done one course at Monash uni and now my master a QUT, so I can't really recommend anything outside of that :/ I would suggest ringing up the universities and talking to the staff who know the course the best!
Hey Hazel! Great question :) This is not true! You can still study psychology without seeing a psychologist yourself. Some people might suggest it as you can learn more about being a psychologist. However, outside of the government subsidised mental health plan, seeing a psychologist is expensive and it is not expected for everyone to be seeing one!
can you get pr after bachelors in psychology? or can you do a graduate diploma in counselling after bachelors in psychology to get pr ? is it better to change my course to bachelors of counselling if I want to be in counselling/therapy feild and also get pr ?
Hey Raykin! I'm not entirely sure about this :/ I have cousins who do nursing, allied health, and IT-related degrees in attempt to get a PR but I don't know much beyond that. I would look into the department of home affairs as a starting point?
@@raykin8633 Im actually an aussie citerzen! Here is a list of study areas you could consider: www.ozstudies.com/blog/study-australia/courses-that-can-lead-to-permanent-residency-pr-in-australia. I really don't know much about getting a PR so I recommend you talk to someone who has! I'm sure there are plenty of FB groups you could join if you didn't know anyone personally!
@@yash9801 thankss !! idk psychology is in pr or not for me being psychologist is more important than being a pr of australia!! thanks for the video keep uploading
Heyaa! There are CSP places for Masters degrees! Since there is such a high demand for psychologists now. My spot is csp funded so I'm only paying $4000 a year! However, CSP funded places are competitive!
@@someonesomeone313 Competetive-ness depends on what course you choose! I'm actually going to film a video tonight and upload some time this week about what I mean by this :)
Hey! I got an equity and community leaders scholarship as an undergrad student! I'm a domestic student and have CSP-funded courses that go on HECS, so it is not as financially stressful for me.
Shit, I didnt knew It was so expensive, so that means I wont be able to pay my living and study expenses through part time job, and what does coding mean😅 is it programming or something😅😑
Heyy yes it is expensive but if you're a domestic student it will become HECS debt. This is basically a loan you get from the government which you don't have to pay back until you start earning ~48K. Also, it's automatically taken out of your pay (usually 1%) and it just increases to match inflation. So it's definitely not 'bad' debt. This allows you to actually afford your student expenses. Yes! I'm currently coding in R studio to analyse my data!
@@yash9801 HAHA getting that type of loan would be a blessing for me, but sadly I am Nepalese citizen and our gov. is trash so its unfortunate. And I didnt know coding had to be done in psychology. I am currently in class 12 from science faculty so its posssible to study psychology or not? My reason for wanting to study psychology is to analyse my own life and decisions smthg like that ;-)
Hey Veronica! I recommend trying to get a job at your university as they are very accommodating towards international students! There are usually programs in the university aimed at helping international students adjust. Perhaps in your first year, you can take part in those programs and then apply to work there the following year? Not sure if this much helps haha
@@veronica-er5hh No worries at all! Getting a job is always so difficult, particularly during a pandemic when hiring rates are low. I always recommend calling/emailing/visiting the place you want to apply to! Connections will always trump a 'good application'.
I don’t think it matter where you go, employers don’t really care about that. They care more about your experience and why you want to do psychology! I’m thinking of making a video comparing courses shortly, so keep and eye out for those :)
🤣 Student loans is the biggest cash grab for the Government. Some smartass in Government just made it expensive 1 day. It's not just honours for the students....it's honours to the Government aswell
It sure is expensive! Especially for international students. However, since psychology is such a growing field, most masters have CSP funded places which is amazing! For example, mine costs $9000 for two years which includes great teaching staff, placements, clinic staff to help me, partnerships with the community etc! But without a csp place, things start to get a bit exy !!
@Yash Jay I'm a highschool Drop-out. My Resume is only worth $30hr with me being a Employee. When I'm running my Businesses. I earn average $70-$100hr. I am aware that to be compliant with some fields...a Certificate is needed. But it's sad sometimes meeting people that are paying off a Highly Educated Course. That only get the same rate as me. It's sad to see
This is an INCREDIBLY helpful and insightful video!!! They should show this in every high school so that students know what they’re signing up for. No one would have guessed how much math and statistics is in psych!! And that bottleneck is awful!!!
Thank you so much
I wish someone told me all of this before I decided to pursue psych !! Thank you for providing us with your personal experience!!
thank you so much for this video!! i've been searching for a straightforward guide like this for a while now, just to set my own expectations and further solidify my choice to pursue psychology! i'm a high school student right now & this video very much helped
I'm glad it helped you! I still wasn't sure if I was on the right path until about 6 months ago. As long as you moving in the general direction of what you like doing, you'll be fine :)
Thank youuuu and omg you’re so pretty🥺💖
Thyagi Weerakkody No worries!! hope it was somewhat helpful and thank you 🥺☺️
Thank you for speaking first on the cost!! Puts into perspective how expensive it is if you ultimately do not go into that field.
Yeah! Especially for international students :( A lot of Masters do offer CSP funding which is great tho! My total HECS debt for undergrad and masters will be around $35,000 (~$26,000 Undergrad + $9000 Masters) which is pretty decent. However, I'm three years behind my peers who completed a three-year degree and get into the workforce straight away :') I'm still happy to invest my time into a rewarding career tho, so its worth it for me :)
Thank you so much for sharing so much insight, especially regarding Bachelor Psych/ Psychological Science. It is evident you really want to help people you amazing soul. Your channel is a blessing.
Thank you so much, this is such a lovely comment
this was such an amazing video!! I learnt so much from this and learnt about the things I should expect. it really shows me what I’m signing up for, thanks :)
Yeah, it's good to know what you're in for! Don't let it discourage you though :) For example, I can not comprehend maths (I got like a 25 in methods haha) but need up doing 4 years of it in uni and I made it to masters :)
So far the most honest video, i have seen for psychology. Thanks
No worries at all! It's a huge undertaking and I have so much respect for what psychologists have to go through to get to where they are!
I'm Aussie and studying a diploma of counselling 😀
I found this video really good 👍
Woohoo!! Congratulations on your study and thank you so much :)
That last point is the most important one emotionally draining. That point is really never shared and a lot of the client's you see will not understand that you have a full time job as much as you are trying to help them.
Yeah fully! It's a tough gig and my introvert self is crying :') Boundaries are key to staying sane haha
You should do more vids, there is a big market, dont wrorry, dont want a conversation just for you to make more for us to watch

I'm so glad I could help! Don't even be stressed about that math aspect! I was horrible at methods and I'm still able to navigate through the statistics :) If I can do you, then 1000% so can you!
Thank you! This was so helpful!!!!
This makes me so happy! And thank you Eva :)
Hey! This was a great video, I’m still considering whether to study Psychology or Optometry at UWA..
You can always transfer degrees if you change your mind? What draws you to each career? Choosing a degree depends on your value as well :) Does job prospect matter to you, salary, space for career progression, subject matter? Try talking to optometrists or psychologists that you know and ask about the pros and cons of their job! Just know you can always change :)
Very true
Thank you so much! This was so helpful to know while I'm deciding if I should sign up for next year. :) Thanks!
No worries :) What did you end up choosing?
@@yash9801 I start online with Deakin on Monday. I'm doing a graduate diploma but part time. :)
@@louisemcvicar8028 That is amazing news, Louise! I've heard that Deakin is a great university for psychology :) You'll be great
Thank you very much!
Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm planning to study Bachelor of Psychological Science in Australia and I'm a high school graduate . I'm totally worried about choosing psychology and job opportunities. Please tell me all about these.
Hello!! I made a video on Jobs that you can get with a psychology degree - check it out :)
thank you for your video! I’m a student graduating high school this year and am really considering taking psychology as a major. But i’m an international student so, in order to save some money, instead of coming to australia was thinking of doing my bachelors and honours from the branch school monash malaysia and than coming to australia for my masters. would this be ideal and would i still find jobs
Hey A M! Congrats on graduating highschool! As long as the degree you enroll in is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council Limited (APAC), then you will be able to practice as a psychologist in Australia! I know Monash has a Malaysia Campus, so it could be worth looking into a B.Psych/ Arts/ Science Degree over there. However, I would suggest getting in contact with Monash Malaysia Campus to double-check before you enroll! In terms of getting a job as a psychologist, you will need to complete a master's degree first. Most universities in Aus reserve a few spots for international students. I believe securing that master's spot is the most difficult part. I have not had experience applying for psychology jobs as I just finished my bachelor's, so I can't comment on that too much! Sorry for the long answer but I hope this helps and feel free to ask me any other questions!
Thank you that was very helpful.
Hey, thanks for the video..
I am currently in my 3rd(final) year of bachelors in psychology- India..
And I am planning to go abroad for my master's ..
Would you recommend Australia for the same..? Also which field would be best?
Can a counselor get a good job after masters in Australia?
Hey Saumya! I think the master's courses in Australia are great but it's hard to say which field is the best since I am not working just yet! I actually made a video ruclips.net/video/TCPKx5MUahQ/видео.html on different jobs you can get with your degree if you want to check that out.
@@yash9801 hii can international students actually get these jobs after masters ? I heard they dont give them and priotize domestic students...is that true that we will be left out ? And...is getting into masters hard ? Getting registered is hard ? I heard some say that....
Hi, I'm a 12th grade student from India. I love psych too so can i ask where you're doing psych and is it psych hons?
very helpful, thank you for sharing :)
No worries at all!
Hey
I want to apply for PsyD in Australia. What the procedure of it ?
Please help me out
lmao not me enrolling into a bachelor arts (psych) and bachelor of laws only NOW watching this
Hey Kat, congratulations on enrolling into uni!! If you choose to pursuit psychology, it is definitely still doable through the arts pathway (although a little bit harder)! I know so many people who have :) If you find that psych is what you want to do, then you can easily transfer into a B.Psych at the end of your first year (considering your Weighted average mark is 70%). Otherwise, it's great doing two degrees!
@@yash9801 thank you so much for these tips! i was just wondering whether it's easy to switch from a bachelor of arts into B.Psych (honours) and whether there would be any spots left in that program
@@kritijain5935 No worries Kriti :) Transferring courses at Monash Uni generally requires a 70 WAM and the relevant prerequisite units for the course! I would recommend you book a session with a faculty course advisor to discuss your options! I don't think a shortage of spots should be a problem as the psych cohort is always growing each year :) If psych is what you're keen on, switching will definitely make your life a lot easier!
thank you for the information blessings
tysm for the vid!! super helpful
Glad I could help :))
hey Yash, this video is great! Thank you for the insights. Just a small question: do you think that a psychology degree is worth it? As in does the cost add up to the pay scale?
Hey Krishna, that’s a tough question! There is a lot of study involved at it takes a while before you can enter the workforce and a psychologist so it’s definitely something to consider. For me it’s personally worth it but it depends on each person!
Nice video! Some useful advice!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it 🥰
thank you so much!
Thank you for watching haha!
Thanks for your honesty 👍
No worries! Glad you appreciate it :)
Thank you so much for making these videos!! I live in south america but im an Australian citizen, high school student and plan on studying at Monash.. what is the difference between diploma major in arts then into psychology and a bachelors degree honours in Psychology and which one is more worth it? Your vids has helped me a lot, thank you :)
Thank you so much Macarena, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! This is going to be a long answer so feel free to ask any questions if something doesn't make sense. I think the first distinction to make is the difference between a diploma and a bachelor's degree. The arts diploma is designed to help students transition into a bachelor's degree at Monash. Therefore you might as well try to get into a Bachelor's degree from the start (whether that be a bachelor of arts, science or psychology (honours). This will not only save you time but also money! From here you need to decide if you want to do the psychology (honours) degree [www.monash.edu/study/courses/find-a-course/2021/psychology-m3005?domestic=true] or complete an APAC accredited psychology major within your arts degree [www.monash.edu/study/courses/find-a-course/2021/arts-a2000?domestic=true ]. If you're set on psychology, I recommend the bachelor of psychology (honours) degree as the grade requirement to get into honours (4th year psychology) is lower than if you did an arts or science bachelor's degree. You can have a look at pathways to becoming a psychologist here: www.psychologycouncil.org.au/pathways_registration_psychologist
@@yash9801 Thank you so much! I appreciate your reply and the information was clear. I’ve been emailing monash and i’ve received replies on pathways and entry requirements being international although being an Australian citizen. Your videos are great and i wish you the best luck. Thanks for your time
@@macarenalindermeyer5245 I feel your pain, finding a course can always be so overhwleming! I recommend trying to maintain a 70% grade average in your first year of uni so if you do change your mind, you will be able to transfer courses with ease :) Feel free to submit a Monash inquiry if you want to ask Monash any specific questions! connect.monash.edu/askmonash/s/contact
Hi , I want to ask that which are the best uni for masters in psychology or dpsyc course in Australia both academic wise and cost wise and also as I am an international student so my course is of 3 years, so can I do my honours in monash uni ?
Sorry for so many questions but Thanks 😊 this video really helped
Hey Jahanvi! I'm glad this helped you out :) Choosing a uni can be so overwhelming, but to answer your question: there is not really a best uni academic wise per se. Once you get into the workforce, it's more about what experience you have rather than the prestige of your university. The deciding factors would likely be the cost of the degree and whether you are eligible for any scholarships! You'll need to double-check which universities have the course you want (For example, Monash doesn't offer a Masters's in clinical psychology). And yes you could do your honours at Monash, given that you meet the grade and requisite requirement. Feel free to ask me more questions :)
Hi , please make a video on the post graduate degrees which you can choose for clinical psychology and there pros and cons
Thank you 😊
plss make more videosss i need ur videos to make me stay motivated being a psychologist
oyaaa, u r so prettyyyy by the wayy
OMg haha you are too kind hehe
Can you please give more details about coding that we are supposed to do in the 4th year
Hey Samriddhi! You're taught how analyse data through statistical analysis on a coding software (I used R). For example how to code a general linear model, linear mixed model etc! Depending on your honours project, you may need to code tasks and do extra statistical analysis. You will be provided with all the resources you need to learn how to do these things so don't stress :)
I loved ur accent 💖🥺
HAHA noo I hate it :') Thank you tho!
I really struggled with maths at school but am looking into going on to study psych now... do you think for someone who basically failed math it will be hard to grasp the mathematical concepts in the psych, honours and masters?
Hi Rach, I am also still not very good at maths, but when it's placed into teh context of psychology or a project you are interested in - you begin to appreciate it a little bit. I know it's hard, but try to see it as a tool that will help you understand more about psychology, as opposed to a subject. It's good to know your area of weakness so you can make sure to set aside enough time to really understand the material and make sure you ask for help! That's what your tutors and lecturers are there for! Good luck :)
Do you happen to remember any of the textbooks you used in first year that were most helpful to you? Xx
Hey Benita !! Ngl but every year I’ve waited until I’ve started the class to see if we actually use the textbooks. I’ve only spent my money on one new textbook/workbook but the rest I find online PDF’s for or just don’t use it 🙃 Textbook are sooo expensive and I recommend waiting to see if you actually need them or find free PDF’s floating around!
@@yash9801 Yeah, definitely! Thanks so much
Psychology (fifth Australian and New Zealand Edition) by Lorell J. Burton - its huge so i would recommend the digital copy if you can get it, its really good and it isnt boring to read either
Is a PhD degree obligatory to get a job in psychology? ( Counseling/ School)

Can’t go wrong with Monash.
Hey Yash! I’m starting my Psychology Honours Bachelor Degree at Monash during the Sem 1 2022 batch. I wanted to ask do u still have ur lecture notes and if yes would u be willing to share them with your fellow junior haha! Do let me know! :)
Hey Diva! Unfortunately I don’t have my lecture material from semester 1 and I don’t actually write proper notes HAHA 🥲 I usually delete all my stuff at the end of each year because my laptop doesn’t have sufficient storage, sorry 🥲
Awesome tips!!
Thank you so much! :)
I am from nepal i also want to study bachelor of psychology in the newzealand so but i don't idea about university and also about this course in newzealand about easy and future carrer.. plz can you tell me..
i've seen lots of comments online about how the monash bachelor of psychology (honours) is poorly run. is it really as bad as it is made out to be? thanks!
Hey Melisa! This is definitely a tricky question as there are two sides to the coin. Monash Psych expects a very high standard of work for D and HD marks, which can often be discouraging. Unfortunately, feedback is often minimal, so understanding how you can improve for the next assignment can often seem impossible. For me, I looked to external resources (e.g., reading high-quality research papers) to understand how to write a good paper rather than relying on my tutor's comments. Sometimes there can be inconsistencies between tutors' instructions, but along as you do what YOUR tutor wants you will be fine. Psych forces you to do A LOT of self-learning which is annoying, yet the best way to learn. Overall I enjoyed the challenge and it pushes you to produce work you didn't think you were capable of! Let me know if this answered your question/ have any more questions :)
@@yash9801 yes thank you that really helped! i was just deciding whether to do psych at monash or melb uni through the bach of arts after hearing all the negativity surrounding monash. what sort of stuff do you learn and do most of the assignments require you to write papers? also do you know if this course will allow me to go into forensic psychology in the future or is it just mainly toward clinical psych and neuropsych. thanks :)
@@mel4065 No worries :) I had to make the exact same decision as well! I chose Monash for two reasons. 1) Physically closer to me 2) The B.psych has a guaranteed entree into honours if you achieve a 70% average in your 3rd-year core subjects, compared to other unis which did not have that. I'm not too sure what Melbourne is like in comparison to Monash, but either way, they are both highly regarded (although that doesn't really matter in the job world). You have lecturers throughout the year which teach you just straight content and then you have tutorials that help you with your assignments. The content of your assignments aren't all explained by your lecture so you need to always do additional research by looking at journal articles. Luckily you don't have to write an actual journal article for assignments, but you do lab reports, lit reviews, case studies etc ( maybe ill make a video on this haha ). The job opportunities lie in clinical psychology whereas forensic and neuro-psych aren't as high! Although this could change, it's been the trajectory for some time!
@@yash9801 yes, i was struggling because monash is further from me but the guaranteed entree into honours is the main reason im leaning towards it! you say that not everything is explained by the lectures so do you think that it will be a struggle to keep up? and yess you should definiately do more videos about this!! also are you going into your honours year this year and are you planning to do your masters as well? i just thought that neuro psych was also an option as well as i saw that you could get a 'doctor of psychology in clinical nueropsychology (DPsych (ClinNeuro))' in your postgraduate degree. do you mean that the job opportunities for neuropsych and forensic psych are not as high? but do you think they will still be an option if i do this course (i havent decided what type of psychologist i want to be and want to see if they can still be an option). thanks! sorry for bombarding you with questions haha:)
I want to ask which are the best colleges in Melbourne for masters in psychology as I completed my bachelor degree in india
Hey there! I’m in my 30s and I’m looking to start a psych course. I actually do IT currently but I want to do psych after hours and weekends. I currently have my masters and bachelor in IT. Would you know what the quickest way I can fast track my course from here ?
So happy that you’ve taken that step! If you have a bachelor’s in IT, you will need to do a Graduate Diploma of Psychology before you can apply for honours/ graduate diploma of psychology advanced/ graduate diploma of professional psychology!
More videos about psychology please!!!
Thank you for the support! Yes I will be very soon :)
Can anyone tell if we have to do any Bridge course before msc clinical psych in aus. Or can we apply with 3 ye bsc?
Thanks, I gave the idea lol
Apart from joking, could you make a video about pros?
Hey! Sorry do you mean pro's of studying psychology?
@@yash9801 Yes please
Hi, I did my Bachelors of Psychology in India, should I do the 4th year in Australia in order to do Masters or can I apply for masters directly ?
Hey Ishwarya! To become a psychologist you will first have to do a graduate diploma in psychology then you can apply for 4th year and then finally master's! Check this website out to see the different pathways to registration: www.monash.edu/medicine/psych/pathways-and-careers/study-pathways
Thank you Yash, this is a great video. I'm a future student in psychology and I'm still choosing universities among USYD, UNSW, MQ and UQ. I'd love to exchange in the US or Singapore in year 2 or 3. Also considering to do a masters degree in the US if I can. Do you have any suggestions on these 4 universities? I will be studying full time for the 1st year/semester then transit to a Part-time basis. I would like to find some volunteer or part-time jobs later next year so gain some practical experience. I know it is really competitive to get the honours place. Thanks in advance!
Hey Eva! Sorry for the slow reply :) What did you end up choosing? I think defs check with your uni in advance whether an exchange is a possibility. If you go into a straight psychology degree as opposed to a general science or arts degree, it tends to be more complex. I wasn't able to do exchange for this reason sadly :( Doing a master's degree overseas may be difficult if you want to practice in Aus in the future. The requirements to becoming a psychologist significantly vary between the US and AUS! Definatley try to volunteer as much as you can in first - third year! It gets pretty hard to do this in fourth year :)
Hi! I took psychology(arts) as my major at Monash. Can I ask for your social mediaa, I want to ask for your advices if you don't mind. Btw this video is sooo informative, thank youuu!
Sure thing Anna! You can email me at yash9801@gmail.com :)
I’m planning to go into psychology. Could you guide me what’s the average salary for a clinical psychologist in Australia and what’s the max range with years of experience?. Thanks.
$100k AUD average salary after a couple years.
Mam basically engineering student I am interested in studying psychology but get wexed with memorising and studying for exams and I don't have goood memory is the same thing in studying psychology
That's okay! Most of your grades in psychology are derived from assignments that require high-level writing skills rather than memory skills. You may need to put some extra care and effort into exam preparation as that requires some memorization! Either way, the content is interesting so you will find it easier to memorise as its naturally more enjoyable :)
I have completed my masters in Psychology from India..now I'm staying in Australia along with my husband how can apply for general registration with my overseas qualifications
hey Sreelakshmi! Thank you so much for your question. I would talk to AHPRA or the APS in terms of wanting to get your overseas qualifications recognised!
Hey, so what did you mean by 'coding'?
Ted Alen Hey! So during honours most projects require you to work with softwares such as R studio, python, matlab ect to handle and treat you data. This requires coding but I’ve heard it alright since a lot of codes to perform certain functions can be found online :)
Hey! Is it super unheard of for someone getting into master’s right after they finish honours?
It’s not unheard of!! I was got in straight after honours, but I know most people did work experience in-between. I think getting work experience is great because you have more to contribute during class :)
Hello, I want to ask should I choose bachelor of psychology or bachelor of psychology (honours)? Because I just graduated high school🤔
Hey Chelchel! They are essentially the same thing as you still have to "get into" honours. I would double check if doing a bachelor of psychology(honours) allows you a guaranteed entree into honours if you get a certain grade!
hello may i ask? is it good to study psychology in new zealand? why? and is it good to work psychology in new zealand? why?😭 sorry i was searching but about this topic but no one appeared in net
Yeah NZ is a great place to live and study but I believe that cost of living is slightly high! But nothing crazy compared to aus :)
hello. i can't finish the the whole video because of the internet connection. i would like to ask if i can study psych and if i already have the degree, can i study law and use it as a pre-law?
Hey! Yeah, you can defs transition into psych :) You may need to do a graduate diploma to make sure you have all the APAC requirements. Something like this: online.monash.edu/online-courses/psychology-courses/online-graduate-diploma-psychology/
hey ! much needed help ! can a non sci background student study psychology like im a commerce student so can i ? Im planning to come australia for psychology
Heyyy Navya! Of course, you can :) I think it might even give you an edge with the numerical/technical side of psych. Tbh the most important skill in psych is your ability to write concisely and well, so if you can do that/ are willing to learn how to do that, you will be fine! Also, you can even combine your interests and go into organizational psychology later on :) SO having your commerce degree will be a huge asset!
@@yash9801no no actually am just in grade 11 and took commerce as my stream so later on maybe ill do bachelors in psychology like after 12th without any degree so thats why i asked
@@navyasehgal2239 Oh yes I get you now! That's fine as long as you meet the subject prerequisites for your course. For example, I needed to have scored above 27 in English to be considered for a bachelor of psychology (honors) at Monash! Otherwise, I could do whatever subject I wanted :) After you get into a course you can transfer across to most other degrees, so long as you maintain a 70% average grade! So there are always options :)
you're so beautiful sis!
I am from India..can you please suggest best and affordable abroad universities to do Masters and PhD... please let me know
Hey Trupti! I'm honestly not sure what the most affordable program would be. If you do end up applying, make sure you apply for international scholarships and see if your course is eligible for a study grant!
Hey, I’m in the application process right now I was wondering if a ATAR of 82 is good enough. I’m afraid I won’t get in but I really want to do this course
Hey Farzin! I wouldn't stress at all if I were you :) When applying on VTAC make sure you completed a SEAS application which will help! Also if you don't get in with seas or the Monash guarantee you can always do a bachelor of arts or science and then transfer into this degree in your second year! You just need to make sure you're doing the APAC accredited extended major in psychology and maintain around 70 WAM for the best chance of transferring into the course. You got this :)
@@yash9801 tysm for this really appreciate it!
I've done my undergraduation in engineering. Is it possible for me to now switch to psychology?
Yeah, there is definitely room to do that! Have you applied for a course transfer at your uni?

Hey Sneha! Go check out my other video ruclips.net/video/TCPKx5MUahQ/видео.html if you want to know how to pursue a career in psychology at any level!
What is the difference between Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and Bachelor of Psychological Science?
Hey! There is no difference in the first three years of the degree! For both courses, you still have to get into an honours year, if you would like to register as a psychologist! Put simply, there is no undergrad course you can enrol in after year 12 which automatically gets you a place in an honours program. An honours program is the 4th year on the path to registration! Think of it like a mini PhD with course work :)
@@yash9801 Thank you so much! Looking to do psych next year. Just have to tough out the HSC. Great vid btw!
hello there. I am thinking of applying ma psychology in Australia from Nepal. is it possible and what are requirements? help and I have a different degree in bachelor (social work with psychology)
Hey Terisha! It's definatley possible :) I would give the university a ring and see what your option are! The requirements are very different for each uni, but generally, you will need a certain grade standard and pass the English proficiency tests.

Wooohoo!! How is the studying going? :)
@@yash9801 not bad but I need to work harder, I like my major , how about you?
Hi Yash
Is it necessary to do a Bachelor of Psychology if I already have a Bachelor's degree or can I just directly get into a Graduate Diploma/4th year?
Hey Ray! Thanks for your question :) You must complete an undergraduate degree and an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited major in Psychology with a weighted average of at least 70% (this can change based on uni) in the second and third-year subjects within the psychology major to be eligible for the Graduate Diploma/honors year in Psychology/4th-year honours! Hope this helps :)
For international students Which university is best for psychology in Australia
Thanks for your comment! Tbh it doesnt really matter what university you go to :) I've only had experience with two so it's a difficult to answer this!
i just got enrolled into UQ for psych honours and I'm scared lol. How much time would you stay you studied a day?
Congratulations Kiara! That's so amazing :) At the start of the year, I didn't really do much study. I would just use this time to really kick-start your honours project before any assignments roll in. I would also just start writing your thesis introduction. It's likely that your intro will be completely different but it's good to just start writing. Towards the end of the year, I would be doing maybe 8 hours of actual study. Don't focus too much on the "time" and don't be intimated by the hours as you'll find the motivation to do it :) You will get there, trust me!
@@yash9801 Ah thank you so much! Just saying I’m new to your channel but you are really inspiring me. I hope your mental health and everything goes well. Good luck :) !
Could you just advice me what is the best uni to go to for psych???
Also the salary of a psychologist..
Is it enough to live a satisfied life? Lol
Hey!! That's a hard question to answer, I feel like any university is very good for psych tbh :) Melbourne uni and Monash are ranked at the top, however, I feel like Deakin, ACU, and Swinburne also have great programs!
To answer your second question, according to a study published in 2010 by Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton, your level of happiness doesn't increase once you earn 75k USD (which is 96K AUD). A psychologist definitely has the potential to make that much! So in short, yes that is technically enough to live a satisfied life :)
Oh no I’m bad at maths should I back out? I’ve just applied
Bianca!! Nooo defiantly keep at it :) I'm still so bad at maths and with a lot of help from uni, you can get through it :) Also, if by the end of undergrad you really hate maths/thesis writing and want to do a master's - you can find a master's that doesn't have a thesis component!

People who study psychologist need a therapy themselves. Is this true? I am not sure if I should take psychology
Hey Hazel! Great question :) This is not true! You can still study psychology without seeing a psychologist yourself. Some people might suggest it as you can learn more about being a psychologist. However, outside of the government subsidised mental health plan, seeing a psychologist is expensive and it is not expected for everyone to be seeing one!

English and psycology do go hand in hand! Writing and reading is arguable the most important skill in psych :)

Hey! I got an equity and community leaders scholarship as an undergrad student! I'm a domestic student and have CSP-funded courses that go on HECS, so it is not as financially stressful for me.
Coding as in the computer code???
Yes! We used R studio :)
@@yash9801 Do you know if most uni's in Australia do this? (this is really cool I would've never expected that, thanks for the video btw)
Coding? What do you mean by coding??
Kind of like computer programming!
@@yash9801 oh that kind of coding
Shit, I didnt knew It was so expensive, so that means I wont be able to pay my living and study expenses through part time job, and what does coding mean😅 is it programming or something😅😑
Heyy yes it is expensive but if you're a domestic student it will become HECS debt. This is basically a loan you get from the government which you don't have to pay back until you start earning ~48K. Also, it's automatically taken out of your pay (usually 1%) and it just increases to match inflation. So it's definitely not 'bad' debt. This allows you to actually afford your student expenses. Yes! I'm currently coding in R studio to analyse my data!
@@yash9801 HAHA getting that type of loan would be a blessing for me, but sadly I am Nepalese citizen and our gov. is trash so its unfortunate. And I didnt know coding had to be done in psychology. I am currently in class 12 from science faculty so its posssible to study psychology or not?
My reason for wanting to study psychology is to analyse my own life and decisions smthg like that ;-)
How can i find work while studding abroad
Hey Veronica! I recommend trying to get a job at your university as they are very accommodating towards international students! There are usually programs in the university aimed at helping international students adjust. Perhaps in your first year, you can take part in those programs and then apply to work there the following year? Not sure if this much helps haha
@@yash9801 this the first time for me to know this information so im so thankfull for u ❤
@@veronica-er5hh No worries at all! Getting a job is always so difficult, particularly during a pandemic when hiring rates are low. I always recommend calling/emailing/visiting the place you want to apply to! Connections will always trump a 'good application'.
Hey is Macquarie better or monash for psychology
I don’t think it matter where you go, employers don’t really care about that. They care more about your experience and why you want to do psychology! I’m thinking of making a video comparing courses shortly, so keep and eye out for those :)
🤣 Student loans is the biggest cash grab for the Government. Some smartass in Government just made it expensive 1 day. It's not just honours for the students....it's honours to the Government aswell
It sure is expensive! Especially for international students. However, since psychology is such a growing field, most masters have CSP funded places which is amazing! For example, mine costs $9000 for two years which includes great teaching staff, placements, clinic staff to help me, partnerships with the community etc! But without a csp place, things start to get a bit exy !!
@Yash Jay I'm a highschool Drop-out. My Resume is only worth $30hr with me being a Employee. When I'm running my Businesses. I earn average $70-$100hr. I am aware that to be compliant with some fields...a Certificate is needed. But it's sad sometimes meeting people that are paying off a Highly Educated Course. That only get the same rate as me. It's sad to see
Governments want everyone to be a Employee if they migrate.. So Yes. Paying for a Employee Study is compulsory. Great tool people to pay tax
Hey, was just wondering if you were single? Aha.. you're very cute! Please reply !
you think you're funny!
