awesome video!
Now I know what A level subjects to choose (i’m still in year 10 lol but it’s better to think of this early than too late)
And I want to be a psychologist in the future.
I'm getting ready to try it next summer, mainly because I'm from another country and I need to do the foundation, I'm totally lost in how everything works, so I'm watching all the videos, they are all all helpful
Good luck!
@@IlyasCambridgeAdvice thank you 😊
@@Leogsj1 How it's going now ?
My PBS interview is tomorrow!!! Anxious for it! 😫
good luck
I have just finished watching the video, it was so useful! Thanks :)
Haha that's great timing for me!
@@saraasadli2140 Thank you! :)
@@IlyasCambridgeAdvice Haha, yes the timing is great! I was wanting a new video to come out on PBS and you posted one, thank you aha! :)
Hello Ilya I would really appreciate a video with a geography student, if possible!
I've added it to the list of videos I plan to make, though it might be a while so apologies!
Hey Illya kinda unrelated, but do I have to ask anything at the end of the interview, when they ask you if you have any questions?
It's an opportunity for you to ask questions, so go for it if you have some. You don't have to. If you're really passionate about your subject you might have a question to ask your interviewers given that they are experts in their field.
Lol I basically told my interviewer I'd stalked him online before the interview and asked him about this series of lectures he'd done which sounded interesting
Thanks...
Is there any test for admission like TSA ?
Hi, you can view entry requirements here www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/psychological-and-behavioural-sciences
is there an option to take forensics as one of the optional papers in second year? cambridge is my dream school but my dream job is to be a forensic psychologist
From Millie herself:
Not in second year, but there's a criminology and forensics paper option in 3rd year. From my experience though with mentees in the past I don't think Cambridge like it very much if you apply wanting to be a criminologist as it's such a tiny part of the course. But as long as you actually like psychology as a general subject then you'll have a stronger application.
@@IlyasCambridgeAdvice thank you so much, i’ve heard before they dont take too keenly to applicants like me, but i really do love psychology so i’ll love my first 2 years regardless
i beg u get a compsci
I'll add it to the list!
@@IlyasCambridgeAdvice you've low-key blown up at langton :p
