Kate, you are so wonderful and doing such good work supporting early career psychologists. I am a late career clinical psychologist (so old and crusty) and I find you such an inspiration. To all the viewers out there I have met Kate in person and she is just as authentic and lovely in real life.
Gerry it was so lovely to meet you - I wish we could have spoken for longer! Thanks for the shout out - I reckon late career clin psych = loads of wisdom - can't wait to get to your level and keep doing the good work :)
Hi Kathleen, thank you so much for this video. I'm halfway through my honours at this point and your videos are so helpful. Hope you have a great week!
@@Will_wegetthere I don't have the exact numbers but a few years ago this was the case based on annual applicants vs annual offers made compared to Medicine. I remember it being discussed on a forum at the time...a Google search might confirm this :)
@@Will_wegetthere I read this a couple of years ago. I believe this was based on the number of offers vs number of applicants. I imagine it's even more competitive now that the 4+2 is gone.
Hi Kathleen, I love your videos! I have a question I hope you can answer. I am planning on doing psych honours next year at ISN in melbourne. Question: If i complete my honours year with credit average, what does that mean for my future prospects? I want to become a psychologist. So I need to complete my masters but what if I cannot get into any masters program because my marks in honours were not good enough ... what happens then??? what are my options?? many thanks jack
Hey Jack, great question! There's a few options I'm aware of: The MPP is typically a little less competitive and you might have a shot if you apply broadly. Federation uni also accepts students at a cut off of a credit average (but you would need to go through their application process). Another option to consider could be doing the advanced grad dip. The Uni of Melb and the ANU also have a 2 year MPP, which you can apply for without honours (however grades will be assessed from your undergrad). The other thing I'd say (and the best advice a student gave me during honours when I was stressing out) - is that it's hard to do an average job during honours. You have 8-9 months to buckle down on a project, which normally counts for half your marks, and most students do well with their thesis. The key is finding a good/supportive supervisor. Hope this helps and glad the content has been useful :)

I’m so glad the videos have helped! You’re so close to the finish line for honours, hang in there 🫶
Great vid! Also important to note Clinical Psych Masters in Aus are the most competitive programs to get into - even more competitive than medicine.
This is so informative, I wonder if we have stats on this to back this claim. Irrespectively, in support 😊

Thanks for the insights Jared!
Best timing Kathleen, as I’m looking at the psychology reference portal (such a weird platform haha) to enter unis to send the references to
Agreed! I’m not a big fan of the reference system - all the best with your applications!! 🤞
@@kathleenanne You should do a video on this!
Thoughts on ISN? :)
very informative. thank you
I just applied everywhere! Fingers crossed someone will take me!
Crossing fingers and toes!! 🤞🤞
Whats the update now?
@@mahii4080 3 interviews and 3 offers! (on the condition my honours thesis comes back all good, which I’ll find out in the next couple weeks)
So informational thank you

@@kathleenanne Thank you so much ! you are so helpful. I love you
Sadly, none of these are an option for me except for Charles Sturt or the two local universities.
Your channel has potential, keep working
Thank you! 🫶
I have done graduation in sociology department.
Can i apply for Master’s Degree in Australia. 🤎
To apply for a masters you’ll need a bachelor in science (psychology) or an advanced grad diploma in psychology - best of luck!
