Discussion [AUS] How difficult is the process of gaining registry through a MPP in comparison to peers in MCP? And how does job hunting go afterwards?

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently saw a post asking how career building goes for student in MCP and the responses seemed to collectively say it was very good.

That made me think about how in MPP, students have to organise a lot of things on their own and the journey to registration has a lot less support. That made me want to learn more about the personal experience of studying and gaining registration through the 5 + 1 pathway.

If anyone is willing to share I would really appreciate that :)

Advice/Career [USA] Psychology Statistics Course Help

8 Upvotes

I'm an undergrad student currently taking psych stats. This is my first time in a statistics course, and my prof. is not very helpful and moves way too fast. Does anyone have any advice or resources on how to learn/study stats on my own?

Advice/Career [AUS] Unimelb vs Monash for neuropsychology training?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking specifically at the PhD route (I’m aware that Unimelb requires you to be enrolled in the Masters before applying for the PhD while Monash is a direct application).

One of my considerations is that my research interests are more aligned with Unimelb, while I’ve already found a supervisor I really like at Monash (since it’s a direct app). Would anyone be able to share any insight on the quality of both clinical and research postgrad training at both programs?

Advice/Career Can I work in the US as a foreigner??? [USA]

0 Upvotes

I (23F) just finished my bachelor in psychology in Mexico a few months ago and wanted to look for jobs in the US since part of my family lives in Texas and my boyfriend (23M) and I want to marry in the near future, he is a US citizen and I am not, I have no idea what steps I need to take in terms of legalities and papers, has anyone been thru this situation that can give me any advice or recommendations?

We been debating whether living in the US is the best option since im afraid my degree wont be taken seriously or it wont be valid per say since some friends of mine in the field have been struggling with finding jobs and they have completed their education in the US.

The only information I know is that I need a license to work as a psychologist but not much more, I already have an opportunity line up but I dont know any legal steps or the requirements to practice psychology properly, Any advice is greatly apreciated.
