Hey guys,
just a quick question about the path to becoming a clinical psychologist (I hope to one day work at a hospital):
1 . is the overall duration spent at university to becoming a clinical/neuropsychologist 6 years at minimum? i know that the B. Psych itself is a 4 year course (considering you dont get booted on the final year for failing), but to become a registered clinical psych, would this involve an additional 2 years of masters or a doctorate degree? (or are they the same - sry, treat me like im 12)
2. is the honours a year in itself and is it necessary/compulsory for me if i want to pursue a career as stated above? i am getting a vibe that the 4th year of the psych degree is the honours but im not sure about this.
3. Does Psychology lean towards a more essay based degree or quantitative/mathematical/sciencey degree? and how hard is it to maintain a D avg for a STEM/numeracy student like myself? (i didnt particularly like economics in high school nor the plaintext memorising of content)
Thanks <3
