love this video!!! I totally agree with you. I think the common misconception about psychology is that it is an “easy” course when in reality, it is hard affff. It requires a lot of reading, analyzations and critical thinking. This was very informative !!! Thank you for providing some insights about your experiences ❤️❤️❤️ I appreciate your advices a lot.
Hi Alexa!! Thank you so much for your comment! Yesss, there is a lot of reading in psychology and critical thinking is very important too! I wish you all the best!! 🤍
I’m so excited to get started with my degree wish me luck I test to get into school next week thank you for the info and the encouragement I feel so motivated and excited!!!!
Hi Elizabeth! I’m so glad to hear that! I hope you test goes well! Wishing you luck!! 🥰
I hope i have the courage to get atleast in one field😂
I’m sure you have!! Believe in yourself! ☺️
Ha ha ha ....
Love you so much!! Thank you for all your tips! Very useful
Your video is helpful for all psych students, just like me. I'm not into reading or joining webinars and workshops, but when I watched your video, it made me realize it all. I hope there are still some videos about Psychology. Have a great day.
gosh, these are the best five tips for anyone interested in psychology programs! thank you very much
This was really a great piece of advice specially for me that I'm going to school to earn my associates. The misconceptions I've been with a couple of them since announcing I would like take up this major and pursue a career on this path. Grinds my gears when people stereotype this line of work.
Hi Ashley! I’m glad to know that!! In terms of the misconceptions, I guess with the time we just get used to deal with them 😂
@@mariagguerra Exactly lol , I know it will not be the end of me hearing it lol
This was so useful Thankyou!!! Love from a first year psych student :)
Hi Phoebe! Thanks a lot for you feedback, wishing you all the best 🤍
Love this ❤❤❤ Thank you so much!!!
You’re welcome! Thank you! 🤍
Quite informative. I'd really appreciate it if you could create a video on how to up-skill during college years; for someone who aspires to be a clinical psychologist.
Love from India.
thank you for making this video, really helpful...I have been preparing to take psychology for my BA, hope I can make it..thank you so much for your advice...
You're welcome!! Of course you can make it, let me know if you need help! ☺
More videos about your journey in psychology please ❤️
Sounds good to me ☺️
Thank you so much ☺️
Hi, can you please make a video about how you do notes? Thanks for sharing this informational video too :))
You are really nice 💜. thanks for your advices 💜

It is totally not a waste of time, I can guarantee you that! Just be focused and do whatever you can to succeed the best way possible!
please more psychology videos are needed
I love your nails omggg and great video bae

Lhave 1 question
Hii! Thanks a lot for making this video. It helps me to decide what bachelor degree should I choose 🥺🥺🥺 actually, I've been wanting to be a doctor and I'm interested to be psychiatrist which still related to psychology. But now, I got some enlightenment from your video!! It's gonna be my consideration to pick my bachelor degree this year. Wish me luck! Um, could you make a video about what books that psychology students used? Then may I send you a DM for further questions? Thank you very much 🤩🤩
Hi! I’m glad to know this video was helpful! I honestly read much more scientific articles than psychology books... You have great books, but that would depend on your interests within psychology, there are a lot of different fields! You can leave your questions here, that’s okay 😊
U really helpful thank u ❤️
Glad to hear that 🤍
Amazing video
Just wanted to point out, (because I think people get this alittle twisted as to how broad the domain of psychology is), I'm currently in my 2nd year Undergraduate for Psychology with Counselling. This means I study the main core modules that Psychology students do also, but instead of the additional modules they choose, mine are related to practical counselling skills and theory (both of which were in my first year. And yes, I counselled other students). I'm mainly mentioning this because I watched another tips video where the girl was disappointed because she had misunderstood the differences between general psychological occupations and therapeutic hands-on roles. Good tips for new and current students overall! 🙂
Hi! Thanks a lot for your comment! ☺️ Where are you from? It’s interesting because it really changes from country to country, in Portugal and the UK for instance you have to do the undergrad in Psychology (which is very general yes) and then for the masters you choose the area, being it Clinical (Counseling is included here) Organizational, Educational, Forensic, etc.
@@mariagguerra I study at the University of Huddersfield (UK) 🙂 They also have a Psychology with Criminology course as well as a Psychology course, all of which are recognised with the BPS. I believe the University of Leeds (Trinity?) also offers similar courses
I believe that in 3rd year, the optional modules widen out between all 3 Psychology courses also. So there are modules on Clinical Psychology, States of Consciousness etc. What strikes me so far though it just how much I can tailor my interests to my work. For example, I'm particularly interested in personality and individual differences which has its own core module- yet I tend to include the theories and concepts within my work on the developmental module for example
@@spectranwolfinfusion you’re right, now I remember that’s possible in the UK too!! I remember seeing those course options in the UK some years ago for I/O Psychology but the courses I was interested were not accredited by the BPS at the time, that’s why I kept assuming that. Thank you for correcting me!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm in the last year of high school but I'm still kinda confused whether to take medicine or psychology for my bachelor degree :( I love helping people and listening to others which kinda suits to psy but I've been wanting to become a doctor since I was in elementary. Could you give any thougts or maybe a video about why you chose psychology and what to expect after we graduate? And is there jobs available after graduating the bachelor degree or should we continue directly to masters degree? Thanks a tonnnn😭❤️
Hi Risha! Thank you so much for you comment! 🤍 Actually, before I wanted to graduate in Psychology, Medicine was my first choice too! I have some videos related to I/O Psychology and my experience at university that explain why I chose Psychology. In Portugal and the UK, at least, it's recommended to do a Master's Degree in Psychology after the Bachelor's. It is not mandatory, but if you want to become a psychologist or have more career options, it is extremely recommended that you do one! I hope it helped ☺️
@@mariagguerra OMG we have the same choices at the first place!! But today I watched lots of videos about Psychology including yours and (not gonna lie) I think Psychology is SOOO INTERESTING and I just love how Psy student-youtubers have this positive vibes including youuuu! 🤗💗 Ah okaay then! But I actually have several more questions.. May I send you a DM? Thank you so so much, you just got a new subscriber🥺💖
@@risha7936 that’s so sweat 🥰 You can dm me on instagram
U could try becoming a psychiatrist so you do medicine but u also get to listen to people, best of both worlds
BECOME A PSYCHIATRIST!!!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Maria Guerra🥰
Lots of love from 💜

im totally driven towards psychology and found it interesting to study im currently gonna have my 2nd year pre med exams in july and gonna take admission in BS psychology at some university in canada
people on youtube come up with both positive and negative videos regarding their own personal experiences
some of those negative videos regarding psychology major were horrifying with terrible clickbaits
*reality of studying psychology* *reasons you shouldnt be taking psychology as major* blah blah
but i have come to a point that no matter what im gonna make it!
i know its a 4 years grad. 2 years masters 3 years phd and really competitive
im a kind of a person that i would complete something i went into
but why not doing something with interest and joy in it?!
my dad wanted me to be a doctor but i couldnt have any sort of major interest in it
where while i have totally found myself into this career option
im really indulged towards the significance of MENTAL HEALTH and i think its the best field for me
@Vrinda Mercy heyyyy, I do have some basic knowledge but I ended up taking admission in BS Clinical Psychology in Pakistan; University of Management and Technology. Due to covid, board result came out by the mid of oct and I didnt want to invest a whole year for shifting to canada. I planned as per the result declaration, as it was supposed to be declared by the end of August or start of September but it came out too late so the only document that I didnt have was my transcript. I planned to join any university in canada by January; the winter session. I hope you get the sketch 😂😂
But we can talk 💛
I love Ur beautiful accent and pronuntiation Maria Guerra 😍💕
Thanks
You're welcome!
I love psychology soo muchh and I do want to pursue it but all the videos on RUclips scare me especially for jobs that they are very less and you need to spend a lot of time if u really want to be successful in this field. Can u suggest some good jobs after a bachelor's or masters?
I am like you in the fact that I am interested in the clinical side and am interested in organisation psychology too. However, my question is: how can both degrees be used in a career path? As in, don’t u have to choose one or the other?
Hi i'm from India and , can you tell me best generic elective subject for BA (Hons) psychology ? some options are Sociology , philosophy , political science , economics and many more are there
Who put the wall paper on and what we're they thinking of when they failed to match the pattern.
Heyy! I’m currently pursuing psychology honours at m bachelors level, and I wanted to know how tough can statistics get since I consider myself to be extremely weak at calculations and statistics.
Hi Anushka! Statistics are an important part of a Psychology degree (specially in the field of I/O Psychology), however, I would say that if you pay attention to classes, always revise and make sure you understand, you’ll be doing great!
I rlly want to go for psychology but I’m not the smartest. Like that fear is what’s holding me back lol.
hey...ur video is really helpful..ty for creating it..my question is i am in first yr bachelor in arts psy..i want to learn nd experiene this subj by studing abroad now the thing comes with i m from india and have a very middle class family...Though i want to abroad as UK and will i be able to go as it would be really expensive..can u tell me how can i deal with it?? my second question is can u plzz tell me hw can i be consistent??.cause as its lockdown and the schedule are hanged we can learn so much and take an advantage of it Asits also an interesting subj...
how should i take my notes well i was a begginner may be if you could help me with how actually start to study
How and where to learn to use SPSS?
Hi Maria. This is a very interesting video thank you! I am applying to study a masters in clinical psychology in Portugal, at the Universities of Lisbon, Coimbra or Porto. I see the courses are conducted in Portuguese and I am good at Portuguese but I am worried it will be too difficult for me. Do you the unis have a test to take to see if your level of Portuguese is good enough? Do most of the lecturers also speak English?
Usually you have to prove to a college that you're proficient in the official language of the country where the college is. If you haven't yet, look at the college's website to see what language certifications you might need. Expect as well to take some Portuguese as a second language writing courses before you take college level courses.
May I know how is the situation after I/O??? Is there any particular reason for changing your course??
Was it due to lack of job opportunity?? Or not good salary?
I am just interested in both! I did not change, while I am studying Clinical Psychology, I keep doing things related to I/O 😊
Hi ,well I'm a computer science student but I very interested in psychology so I'm planning and preparing to write competative exam for master's in psychology even though I'm pretty confident a "it's ok you can crack it " but sometimes I'm afraid what to do next if I can't go in because I don't even know what and how they teach in college and don't know the basics they teach but I'm really gonna study for it 😊
That's so interesting because I am in the Psychology field and my boyfriend is a Computer Science student ahahah Good luck!! You can do it!
psychology arts subject hy ya science ka??
Hi I'm starting college, I'm going for my psychology major I was wondering if you would be my mentor🙏😬
may i know if taking master in clinical psychologist, can we also work as health psychologist incase we got the oncall? and is there has any an opportunities for all the job occupation work together? i mean, we are clinical psychologist, and maybe this month we need to take over working as health psychologist too if needed.
could you please tell me? bcoz i'm currently studying bachelor in psychology
Hi! That might depend on the country. In Portugal, if you do a MSc in Health Psychology you’re basically considered a Clinical Psychologist (but with great knowledge that helps you dealing with patients with diseases such as cancer, for instance), but I honestly don’t know how it works everywhere!
and what should we take for master? what's mean to master degree & double degree?plus, what is PhD & Psy.D? what's the correct way to be clinical psychologist? give all the tips please
That again depends on the country. To become a Clinical Psychologist in Portugal you have to do a BSc in Psychology + MSc in Clinical Psychology + become an effective member of the OPP, so you’re chartered and eligible to work as a psychologist :)
@@mariagguerra hopefully there has many people whom you know are taking any field of psychology (clinical/health) that can explain this further. because i don't want to make a wrong decision. it might waste everything right? :)
basically**********************
Which psychology is the best?
I wouldn’t say that there’s a field of Psychology that is better than the others, it depends on your interests, the same way that there’s not one medical speciality that it better than the others, they are all important and necessary :)
@@mariagguerra is school psychology good?
@@shajijohn5993 if you’re interested in working within the school environment then it might be good for you yes :)
@@mariagguerra oo ok.. Then just one more doubt
.. Can i earn when I take school pyscology?.. Like many are telling that we can't earn anything... Is it true?
@@mariagguerra and last question can u tell me the best countries to work as school Pyscologist..
people be like, "oh you shouldn't be depressed because you're major in psychology". Like what?! even doctors can get sick. After all pychologists are humans too.
It’s mostly a joke lol
So we have to be great at Stats? I HATED stats. And what's this with having talking points about things we never studied in class? That's why we go to class. To learn more. Not knowing is why I go. Haha. How much sense does that make that a portion of credit goes to stuff the teacher was never required to go over with us? I understand the whole "teach a man to fish" logic, but it seems lazy and manipulative to convince people to have to go this route. I thought a higher education would mean a more in depth look to theory rather than pulling concepts off of Google. What a waste of time and money. 2 more years to go for me... ugh.
Can we connect on Instagram as I face alot of issues being a psychology student
