Good day people, please i need advice on how to go about traveling to a first world country like canada, Australia or USA for further studies with my BS.c in Psychology. I only hear about people with STEM courses traveling out. Is it impossible for me? Am currently doing my NYSC and will like to travel for further studies when i am done. Also, how can i get scholarships?
Please if u studied psychology (or know someone) and are currently in those countries i will also need your input on this.

I have my BA in Counselling Psychology and I have now obtained my Graduate hip of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS) which qualifies me to start out work-wise as an assistant psychologist in the UK while working towards a Doctorate that would make me a chartered psychologist in the UK.

I will be heading to the UK in September to start my one year Msc in Clinical Child Psychology as I hope to work part time in a mental health facility while I study.

We graduated with the same GPA, and I'll be heading with to USA coming this August.
If you can write GRE, you'll be get assistantship in USA.

I studied computer science, and I've gotten an ission to study PhD computer science with full funding.

If it's possible with computer, it's possible with psychology also thou the odd is higher cos you're not in STEM.

After my Msc, I look forward to getting my professional doctorate in Clinical psychology (3years), so decide of the 2 which you want to pursue that would offer you better career opportunities in those first world countries.

I have always loved working in a clinical setting especially in a psychiatric hospital though with my intending specialty in child Psychology, I am not likely going to work in one anymore as play therapy as an intervention is going to be a key focus in my practice.

So reflect and choose the country you want to head to.

You have to research schools that offers clinical psychology and check the scholarships they offer, there is also Commonwealth Shared Scholarships

Some of your potential occupations in Canada:
4151 – Psychologists
4152 – Social workers
3143 – Occupational therapists
3237 – Other technical occupations in therapy and assessment

Express Entry: Eligible Federal Skilled Worker Occupations:

But this requires more research. Review the Canada threads, and look into PNP.
