I'm currently completing my graduate diploma in education at the University of Western Australia, following a four year honours degree in psychology.\n\nThe Grad Dip qualifies me to teach or to work as a school psychologist in Western Australia, but I'm considering working overseas.  I know my qualifications allows me to teach in the UK and Canada, but I wasn't sure about the US. Can anyone help me?

in Canada, to work as a psychologist, you generally need a Masters degree, which it sounds like you are getting.  you would likely have a good chance of getting a position as a school counsellor with that.  to become a teacher, another program, called PDP at some institutions, is required, however.

Yes you are eligible for receiving a Letter of Acceptance from Australia Universities. What about your score in GMAT? Haven't you appeared for GMAT yet and what kind of Universities are you looking for?\n\nWhich place in Australia you want to go?

My college is Thomas Edison State College . I took my Psychology program completely on the internet. They accept international students. You never have to go there. They are located in New Jersey, USA and their website is http://www.tesc.edu

Well, I completed my B.A in psychology and am making diddly squat in my job. (i live in canada). There are too many people taking this degree, so it is really hard to get into graduate school. And with just the B.A, jobs are pretty scarce, as psychology is not an edcuation that "trains" you for any particular job. I am currently doing a social work degree, just to be able to actually have a "career". If you want to be a counsellor, have to have a masters or doctorate. As for the comment someone wrote about the behaviour therapists making tons of money, i am an ABA therapist, and make $500 every 2 weeks (for 30 hours/week), that is nothing compared to most with university degrees. I could make more at walmart. . but i feel like going for such employment is a "waste" of my education. However, i needed such employment to apply to other schools, but remember, most grad schools in psychology fields take like 20 students per year at the MOST...dont mean to discourage you, but just because the degree is very interesting, doesnt mean it would be a good choice. Do it as a minor if you really want to do it.

I am assuming you mean Master of Business Administration. I work for a university in Perth Western Australia and we offer this program.  It is one of our main programs and it can be done on-line for overseas students.  The prospects of employment after your degree are endless depending on what field of employment you require.  The MBA we offer can also have specialisations such as marketing, finance, accounting etc.  Click on our website www.business.curtin.edu.au/gsb and have a look.  Good luck. Jude from Australia

I work at Curtin University Graduate School of Business and we run an accredited MBA program, online and face to face classes.  International students would have to apply through the International Office at Curtin Business School.  The Graduate School of Business requires at least 3 years work experience and an undergraduate degree.  Check out our website at www.gsb.curtin.edu.au\nGood luck in your future.

Well, I was going to answer but then I saw you're from Ireland so I'm not for sure but in the US one main difference is the dissertation which you have to do before you can get a PhD.  The diploma says you have completed all of the class work required but has nothing to do with the clinical experience and residency which usually takes 4 more years I believe.\n\nSeeing that you are from Ireland, how would you like to do something a little tiny bit illegal?\n\nE-mail me for the question.\n\ni_lander@yahoo.com

I'm working on my second PhD right now and really enjoy it.  Depending on what kind of PhD you want, there a quite a few online options now.\n\nBut overall, grad school in the states is like no where else on the planet.  We can't build a car, make our own Wal-Mart merchandise or answer our own Customer Service calls – but man can we ever give you a proper education!\n\nWhere are you planning on going?  What are you planning on working for?  Why the states?

If your in Australia either apply to an university that accepts your UAI or go to TAFE college amd take the course you like and talk to a counsellor. \nAnd if you in the US, go to college and speak with a counsellor. \nThis is all I can think of.

Contact "Mediciens sans frontiers" (Doctors without borders) - they might be interested. Then it can really be any place on Earth.\n\nIn most of Western European and North American countries you'll have to reconfirm your diploma.

Based on your grammar, your "distance learning" hasn't been working.  That's going to be a bit more a problem than where the diploma came from.  The difference will depend on the specific job you are applying for.  Some employers only care that you have a college diploma, in which case it won't make much difference where it's from.  Many, however, care about the quality of the education behind the diploma.  In that case, the distance learning aspect will probably be less of a factor than the overall quality of the academic institution.

You can do it with a bachelor's degree, but you probably won't get far.  Most psychologists have a master's degree, and a few have a PhD.\n\nIf you search "Best Colleges", you will find sites that give information about each school.

You should check with someone like Ontario College of Teachers.  They can assess your NZ qualification and let you know if you are ok to teach.  Canadian requirements and Australian requirements are the same, so I would say it's pretty likely that you'll be right to go.  Worst case scenario is that you may need to do one or two subjects to bring you up to speed with their requirements.  However, the employers are the ones that need to tell you this, then the Universities can help from there.  Check out Ontario College of teachers at http://www.oct.ca/home.aspx

With a master's degree, you can work in the local jr. college. Or, go to the local university and see if you can teach overseas for the summer.\n\n$14 an hour?? That's awful low with that kind of education!

If your not sure then you should probbably contact your local Tafe or University and ask for advice there, they will be able to give you the answers you are looking for.\n\nGood luck \nand congratulations \non your degree.\n\n\n\nQuick!!!!!

Choosing what you want to get a master's degree in depends on what your interests are. I'm sure you have developed some interests as an undergraduate, so you should probably pursue those in graduate schools. Just as some general information, Clinical psychology is the most competitive and intense graduate program in psychology. A terminal master's degree is usually not offered, so unless you are willing to pursue a PhD, you probably don't want to go into clinical. Also clinical really emphasizes the importance of research and service. So unless you want to be a therapist, a researcher of psychological phenomena or an academic (professor), clinical may not be right for you.
