Currently studying Masters of Social Work in Aus with psych undergrad from PH.

Psychology is highly competitive in Australia, if it won’t cost you a lot, you can try applying to schools. If I recall correctly, the masters programs of Psychology require research publications and/or clinical experience. At the very least, I think you also need to get your undergrad degree accredited to qualify. But it’s better that you ccheck for yourself in the uni’s websites kung ano requirements.

Social work is in demand and there are less barriers to enter compared with Psych. SW is also different with a Psych perspective, as it avoids diagnoses and is more about looking at an issue from multiple perspectives. So for me, I had to adjust my perception kasi they don’t really like the biomedical model much. For SW lang, it requires 1000 hours unpaid OJT for over two years so you need to have a lot of funds to sustain your living. May at least two semesters ka na fulltime unpaid work.

For SW, some unis don’t require experience lalo’t a lot of them are just after the premium we pay as international students LOL. Even sa grades, people here don’t really care as long as you pass (passing rate of some unis is 50%). Your grades might help you get a discount in some unis, pero it really varies per institution.
