Yes ...Thanks lots for the prompt reply SGPsychStud! Yes I'm aware that NUS's degree is pretty much recognised. I'm not that sure about the other two universities...NTU seems alright despite the fact that it doesn't have any postgraduate clinical psychology options, but SMU's decreased number of psychology modules was a red flag. Good idea to contact JCU:) I'll do that. Perhaps I could check with NTU and SMU as well and enquire about postgraduate options. wandering ministrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09388278881915956500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185192701748748777.post-2537583539647391092016-03-10T09:47:20.560+08:002016-03-10T09:47:20.560+08:00According to AQF (http://www.aqf.edu.au/aqf/in-det...According to AQF (http://www.aqf.edu.au/aqf/in-detail/aqf-levels/), a Bachelors degree is only level 7, while the honours degree is level 8.<br />I would believe that it really depends on the approach and pedagogy of the school. <br />NUS's system is probably very similar to the Australian system (http://sgpsychstuff.blogspot.sg/2012/10/australian-system.html), and this could be seen by NUS having a joint Masters program with University of Melbourne.<br />For SMU's degree, it is more similar to the U.S. system (http://sgpsychstuff.blogspot.sg/2014/05/us-system-of-psychological-training.html), and hence there might be differences in the teaching approaches and pedogagy, as compared to the Australian system.<br />However, I think translation from SMU to an Australian Honours or Masters program would be possible? But this would require some bridging modules to be done before entry into the programs. It would be best to check with JCU Singapore, since they have a campus in Singapore and their program is most similar to others in Australia.SGPsychStudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078390564753370337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185192701748748777.post-73661681051666357122016-03-09T00:38:12.884+08:002016-03-09T00:38:12.884+08:00Hi there!
Firstly, thank you so much for all the ...Hi there!<br /><br />Firstly, thank you so much for all the compilations and insights that you've shared on this site. They've been helpful beyond all imagination! <br /><br />I wanted to just double check about the local universities' accredidation overseas. For Australia, for example, what I see is that the Bachelor's Degree needs to be Level 8 according to the AQF (Australian Qualification Framework). Do all the local universities' degrees fit such requirements? I also noticed that SMU has much fewer psychology modules, will this affect entry to masters programmes for clinical psychology, for example? <br />wandering ministrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09388278881915956500noreply@blogger.com
