Fun fact! Where I'm from it takes 10 years to become a clinical psychologist: 3y Bachelor's, 2y Master's and then 5 years of full time work under supervision in hospitals. It's always interesting to hear how different the criteria and years are around the world. Anyway, thank you for sharing your ideas Ro, very well put together video!

Hey, thank you for this video. It was beautifully explained, and I especially loved and related to the change segment; often overlooked when I hear people discuss what to expect from studying Psychology, which can be distressing and challenging, though ultimately rewarding.

This made me really excited to start my journey to becoming a clinical psychologist!! Thank you so much!!

Hey aparnaa! Great questions and it would take a little more time to fully explain the pathways (I’ll do a video on them soon!) but briefly. 1) If MA = masters then yes! In Australia if you finish a masters of clinical psychology you will become a psychologist (not sure if it transfers from overseas though), 2) job prospects seem pretty good- in Sydney I’ve seen lots of jobs for registered psychologists! 3) in Australia yes you need 4 years as it’s 3 years of psychology study + honours research year. However you’d have to ask each individual University what credits will transfer across internationally. I’d recommend emailing/ calling the psychology facility and asking them directly. Good luck! I’d also recommend you tell them your specific situation because these are specific to NSW in Australia and it might be different in your country! :)
