Waaw This is unbelievable I thought I was the only person who think this way Can you sacrifice your life for something you actually want but knowing you may not get a lot of money after years?

I want to study psychology too.

Hiii I have a friend wanting to do forensic psychology at University of Pretoria ( I am currently doing my undergraduate in Psychology) to study forensic psych you will need to take law. For more information check the University of Pretoria’s website (even if you’re not going there, you’ll get the jist of what you’ll need to be doing for forensic psych)

So glad that you love it!😊 Don't let the numbers stop you🤗 from going for it!💓

I wish you all of the very best!!

@@loyisogasa9844 i dont know whether it is true or not is it hard to find a job in psychology?

@@umzulugaming1941 Yes, it is harder than many other fields like engineering, law or medicine. · It makes a difference if you have a higher degree and the field you specialize in. However, having a psychology degree is also very helpful for other work fields e.g marketing, media and advertising; human resources and communication careers etc., So it's really about seeing where your skills are needed.

@@loyisogasa9844 i wanna be a clinical psychologist it is still hard to find a job

Hey, I'm so glad to hear that! Glad I could help :) So I did my undergrad in the Humanities faculty :)

Hey, no problem! Yes, you definitely can survive it and even thrive :)

That's really deep!💫

what do you mean by that though ?

Hi there! I'm not sure about the UK as I am based in South Africa💫

Thank you!

😅tell me about it...

Hey there! You start to specialize in your Master's year. Requirements to qualify for honours (@UCT specifically and I believe generally): The minimum requirement is a Bachelor's degree with a major in Psychology. All candidates are carefully considered and the screening process takes account not only of the total academic record, but also allows for consideration of individual cases in terms of the two criteria listed below. 1. Academic performance - A bachelor's degree with a major in Psychology (or equivalent number of modules in Psychology). As a general guideline, an upper second class pass in third-year level Psychology is a basic requirement. In addition, the general level of the entire academic transcript is considered, as well as the award of distinctions, honours and bursaries. Consistency in academic performance is important. 2. Equity - In line with the UCT mission of equity and excellence, the selection committee will deliberately seek to ensure that the class will reflect the diversity of talent available in the country. Other achievements, such as previous employment, extra-curricular activities and similar activities do not play a role in the selection process.

All of the best! You CAN do this!!

Hey there! Congratulations! You should be able to choose psych as a major when registration takes place I beleive (and if you meet requirements ofcourse), because when I got accepted for psych, I still had to choose another major when I registered in first year. But, PLEASE do make contact with the institution just to make sure🌞🤍

Thank you so much Fortunate! I'm glad it was helpful! I've always had the heart to care for people and to see them happy and healthy. I found that Psychology was one of the fields out there in which I could live this passion out :) .

Please check your spelling for psychology

@@her3048 yepp .. 🙃😅

so I'm not studying psychology at uni yet I just study the subject in school, so from what I've learned so far, psychology is the study of mental processes, experiences, and behavior. It studies development, mental processes, psychological disorders, phenomenon, the human brain, and many many more! There are different branches of psychology - cognitive, developmental, social, cultural, clinical or counseling, industrial or organizational, educational psychology, etc! Plus check out psychology textbooks for more!

@@fathima5422 thank you..

Heyy. Yay! That's awesome :). Honours is 1 year 😀

Sameeee!😂

Hey! Im glad you enjoyed it :) . Yes, so the essays have the same structure as a general essay (intro, body, conclusion). However, it involves referencing. In the Psych Department we use the American Psychological Association 7th edition (APA) referencing to credit the authors and sources from which we found the information that we have written in our essays. So glad to hear that you may be going into psych next year!🥳💛

@@loyisogasa9844 thank u! ❤️❤️

Hi there! For UCT specifically, I believe that Having English is important as well as at least 50% in pure maths. However, if you're doing maths literacy you can still study psychology but you are then strongly encouraged to add an extra year to your degree and do a maths course in your first year, which is what I did :)

@@loyisogasa9844 thank you for your feedback

Hey! So sorry but at honors level I have no knowledge of Psych and Criminology.

@@loyisogasa9844 Okay. No problem Dear. Keep making you vdos.

I think you need a masters degree or a PhD in psychology before you can consider teaching it to others... but I'm not that sure. Recommend doing your more research on how to be a college professor

@@heavender Thankyou so much for that

Hi there! How exciting :) . Here's a link to my video in which I give some advice: General advice: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oo7pU3yx_dg.html Study Tips: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zr1ekv7bQD8.html

"Número dos" = number 2 in Spanish

Hi Avela! So to become a research Psychologist you'd need to: 1. Get your undergraduate degree with one of your majors being Psychology (this normally takes 3 years). 2. Do your honours in Psychology (1-year programme). 3. Do a Masters in Psychological Research ( 2 years) 4. Then you need to complete an appropriate practicum (1 year). So it's 6 years of study and 1-year practicum. It's a long road but definitely achievable!

And if so what is the percentage requirement to study psychology

So you would have to choose one to specialize in, in your Master's year x

​@@loyisogasa9844 What sounds harder to your ears? 1. Masters Degree in Mathematics or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?

@@mathematicaleconomist4943 😂mathematics😂

@@loyisogasa9844 Please! One more comparison. No more after this one. What sounds harder to your ears? 1. Certified Public Accountant or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?

Nope 😃

That's amazing! Are you in school at the moment?

BA or Bsocsci major in Psychology

@@bahle what is Bscosci?

@@swervo4415Bachelor of Social Science

@@bahle ok thanks

Definitely!

A pass mark is 50%

@@loyisogasa9844 thank you, for high school what subjects do I choose to do psychology in university?

@@dumisamaneli6271 No problem! You can do any subjects really, but make sure to have English and Pure maths. However, if you feel that pure maths is not for you, you can take maths Literacy but then you will be encouraged to extend your degree by 1 year and do a maths course in your first year that will give you a good foundation for statistics in psychology. If you do extend your degree, you would then start your psychology courses in your second year :). I believe that taking Life sciences/ Biology would be advantages because in psychology you also learn about the brain and its cognitive functioning. So having some kind of basic knowledge about these process may be helpful. But, this is not compulsory :). In highschool I took: History, Drama, Life sciences, Dance studies and Maths Literacy, and the basics: English, Afrikaans and Life orientation. Hope this helps :)

@@loyisogasa9844 hey! I’m also wanting to attempt to pursue psychology, but I graduated last year with maths lit - can I ask what did you do regarding your maths situation, and was it difficult ? Because I’m not the strongest in maths, specifically pure maths (high school level) thank you so much. And your vids are so helpful wow - and CONGRATS on honors I hope it’s going well !

@@emmadinnie2216 Thank you so much Emma! Im glad that you've found them helpful! I will be putting more out soon💞. Please see my reply to your comment on my other Psych video💫. As regards to difficulty, it wasn't difficult i would say. You just have to keep at it you know. Practise and asking questions is the only way to Go🙌. The statistics is not like pure maths, its more like maths lit but on the computor 😅 with specific formulas that are actually alot like maths lit. Also the tutors are also so helpful! So i believe that you will be just fine if you do decide to follow through ☺🙌

Hi there! To practice as a Psychiatrist, you need to have a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree (MBChB), followed by a Masters in Medicine, specialising in Psychiatry. Prospective students also need to be registered with the HPCSA.

Aww Thank you so much ☺💓

Hey! I did a BSocSc in Psychology

In South Africa ☺

😂

Hey! If you do your Masters in Clinical Psychology, yes🌞

yea! the medical license is more for if you want to work in a hospital or be a psychiatric which is a doctor that’s able to diagnose and prescribe medication

@@dejapiper3326 Tysm!!

All of the best!🤩💫

@@loyisogasa9844 thank you!🥰 UCT is the way to go!😄 if I may ask, did you only major in psychology?
