    This is the same process that people have to go through to become charted accountants. Most people think that an undergraduate in bcom accounting will make you a charted accountant. It is a 6-8 year process.

    Hi guys. I read on Twitter that New Zealand offers a lot of employment opportunities even for internationals, that's if you would consider working abroad, especially with the hardships of finding employment in our country. Good luck in digging more of that info.

      Is there a way in which one is able to extend their knowledge in this field of expertise at Unisa? I did a diploma and a degree in accounting but I have been thinking of psychology these past few years but I'm scared of not doing it because I don't know what it entails

      @@ChristinaJuly it's a good thing you've started your channel u will really be helping people out there that don't really understand what it takes and the levels to it. Also what careers can come from different levels. And branching out. But one thing I've learnt is that my biggest support comes from ur lecturers. Once I build bonds with them they can make things move for u. They give to those that ask, push, force and fight.

    • @leratomaleka7333
      @leratomaleka7333 Před 3 lety +12

      In my experience not really but having that information of your participantions will make ur CV look good but clinical you write a selection test and get interviewed before the selection process and most universities that offer clinical psychology only take about +- 16 to 20 students. So I would say listen in class tests are general basically work you have learned from 1st year all the way through hons.
      I know same goes for the rest except research psychology no tests are written but u must get above 65 or a 70 for your research report undergraduate and hons to qualify to do a masters. U must understand the dynamics of research it will help u alot. So do not skip those research methodology classes they are important!!
