Thank you so much for your kind words!!! ☺️And I’m glad that my video inspires you to pursue psychology, all the best! 💪

Hello! Thank you for your comment! Glad to hear that from you 😊

Glad you liked it!!

All the best! 💪

Hii we share the same dream and age😂 best of luck for spm✌🏻

@@berkhemahsamasinopal8288 ohmygod hiii all the best spm next year!!

I heard this one its not available in Malaysia ? 🥲

Hey! Can we please share the procedure about this course

Hey Kirrtika! Thanks for your comment! Of course! I’ll make the video and upload it soon! Thanks again for the great idea 😊

Thanks!

Hi, I’m glad to hear that!! If I had a chance, I’d totally transfer to Lancaster and complete my last year there, cus it’s good to immerse yourself in new environment and culture 🙌

Thanks!

Hi Eva, thank you for your comment and question! I had a great time studying at Sunway Uni. The facilities are great (and it’s always improving!) and majority of the psych lecturers r good and knowledgeable in what they r teaching too. If I were to point out some downsides for studying psych in sunway uni it will probably be the course structure. First year is basically the honeymoon year cus the workload is very manageable (I feel they could’ve arranged some second yr subjects in first year). But once you enter second year the workload will increase exponentially, so you need to make sure you’re prepared for that! Of course, this is just my experience it might be different for u. Other than that, sunway uni is a good choice cus once you graduate, you’ll be receiving two certs. If you’re planning to continue your Master in the UK, cert from Lancaster will be very helpful in your application (e.g. IELTS may be exempted). In regards to scholarship, I think sunway uni offers quite a number of scholarship. I will suggest u to check out Star Education Fund (and SinChew Education Fund too). If you’re chosen to be one of the recipients, they will offer you a full scholarship with zero bond after u graduated from uni. Sorry for the lengthy reply hahaha hopefully it answers your questions 😊

@@ahyangjy8065 thank you! ☺️

Hi Zi Qi, thanks for your comment! Unfortunately I am not the right person to provide you with feedback on IMU psychology course because I have not done any research on it. However, if your concern is the credibility of the course, then you can log on to MQA official website to check out its accreditation status. Moving on, I have course mate who managed to secure a spot in UKM studying Master in Clinical Psychology. So I think it is safe to say that Degree in Psychology from Sunway Uni meets the requirement that you need to further your study in clinical psychology. Hope it answers your question. =D

@@ahyangjy8065 tqvm :D

Hi there! Thank you for leaving your comment here! As far as I know, you can become a psychologist with either BSc or BA, so it doesn’t really matter which program you sign up for. What matters the most is making sure that your degree is accepted by MQA & the list of universities that are offering master in clinical psychology. You may find the list by checking out the link below: www.mscp.my/contact (FAQ4) Hope it answers your questions! 😊

@@ahyangjy8065 yes it did, thank you very much!! ☺️

Hi Hanis! Thanks for your comment! Yeap! It is possible to continue your master degree oversea once you've completed your undergraduate in Malaysia. I knew one of my seniors who had done so and is currently practising as a psychologist in Australia. However, you might want to check out the requirement of your preferred school in Aus before enrolling into your undergraduate degree to ensure it ticks all the boxes. Good luck and all the best Hanis!

Hi there! Thank you for your comment and your kind words ☺️ You may refer to the list of university that HELP offers for their twinning programme here: university.help.edu.my/course/psychologycourse/

Hi there! Thanks for your comment! In order to become a psychiatrist in Malaysia, one needs to have a medical degree and later on continue to specialise in psychiatrist. So, if you have already obtained a medical degree then you're on the right track of becoming a psychiatrist in Malaysia! On the other hand, if you are planning to take on the clinical psychologist route, you may refer to Malaysian Society of Clinical Psychology (MSCP) for more information. Hope these info are helpful! =D

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words. I think it would be better if you could consult "Lembaga Kaunselor Malaysia" if you're intending to practise as a Counsellor, or "Malaysia Society of Clinical Psychologist (MSCP)" if you're interested to practise as a Clinical Psychologist. These two bodies will be able to provide you with the most accurate information in regards to your question. =D

Mostly correct. However, the duration of master program is usually 2 years. So the entire duration to get certified should be around 8 years in total. Of course, it may vary according to the commitment level of each person. Hope this answers your question =D

Hi, thank you for your comment! I’m not too sure about the courses that are available for neuropsychology as the field of psychology is still pretty new in Malaysia. Hence, I think there’s limited options for you to choose from if you are interested to further your study in this specific niche in Malaysia. However, I’ve a course mate who managed to study this subject all the way in Australia at the University of Melbourne. Perhaps you could check it out! Hope my answer is helpful! 😊

Hi, thanks for your comment! Yes, it’s possible. Do check with your university admission if your foundation course is accepted by the faculty 😊

Hey there! Thank you for your comment! Yes! 8 years is long BUT it’s included the years that you have spent in pre-u so if you were to exclude that, then it’d probably just take around 5-6 years to complete your studies! To answer your next question, whether you should continue your master in psychology or marketing, I think you might want to consider working in a marketing firm first in order to explore your interest. If you’re truly interested in that, then you’ve got your answer! Also, from my understanding, if you were to practice psychology in the UK, most of the one-year master program is not helpful in getting you charted as a psychologist. You need to attend courses that are accredited by the BPS and HCPC (that are usually longer than a year) in order to become a psychologist in the UK or back in Malaysia. Hope these information is helpful. Feel free to comment further if you have anymore questions to clarify 😊

Hi there! Thank you for your comment! The local uni that I know which offers psych degree is UKM. I think they’re one of the best local uni to study psychology. You may want to check it out! As for the counselling degree offered by UM, I’m not too sure about the course content but I think it might be slightly different from the other degrees with more focus on counselling rather than covering multiple areas of psychology. You might need to have a chat with the admission office to learn more about it. In order to become a clinical psychologist, you will need to have a degree in psychology and obtain at least a second class upper in order to be eligible to get a spot in the master in clinical psych program. It is a competitive program, so make sure you study hard if you’re sure that you’d like to pursue a career in clinical psychology. Hope you find the answer helpful. Feel free to follow up if you have any more questions! All the best 😊

Thank you very much! This reply has really helped me a lot. However due to UKM is government school... so what language will they use to teach this subject? It is BM? Cos if they use BM to teach psychology,it will be a bit different for me to catch up with the studies😢

Glad that it helped! I’m not sure about the taught language for this course offered by UKM, but I did come across with a psych degree offered by local uni which was taught in BM (if not mistaken, it’s a master program in counselling psych). Perhaps you might want to check it out with the uni that you’re interested to apply for~

@@ahyangjy8065 thank you so much!

@@lhw8788 Hi! I'm a UKM Psych student, Id like to help answering your question. We have both mainstream & international program. The mainstream program will learn in BM but it also depends on lecturer. Mostly, we use both English&Malay. UKM-i students will fully learn in English maybe you can check on that. Thats all! :)

Hi Cherry! Thanks for your comment! The course was taught in English 😊

Hi Auni! Thank you for your comment! Both science and arts stream students are eligible to study psychology once they've graduated from high school. So feel free to choose the one that you're interested in the most. Nonetheless, having a strong foundation in science would definitely give you a better head start in learning psych content in the future. All the best =D

You may refer to one of my previous videos by clicking on the link below where I talked briefly about the content that you'll be learning in psych degree. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNiiiKie2tmpdX0.html As for counselling psychology, there certainly is a difference compare to clinical psychology. The former focuses more on helping people to deal with daily issues such as work and personal life stresses, while the later focuses more on helping the client to deal with psychological illnesses such as schizophrenia, depression and etc.

Thanks! ☺️

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. If you are interested in becoming a psychiatrist then a medical degree is required. Hence, you'll need to attend medical school in the first place then proceed to specialise in psychiatry. Hope this answers your question. =D

Hi Ling Yee! Thanks for your comment! In order to become a certified counsellor in Malaysia, you would need to have a master's degree in counselling psychology. With that said, you will roughly need to spend 7 years (assuming 2 years diploma, 3 years undergrad & 2 years master) on your studies. From what I know so far, most of the master's degree in counselling psychology do offer part time option. Perhaps, you could look into it and devise a plan that would suit your circumstances. Nonetheless, I wish you all the best in pursuing what you love!

Hi there! Thank you so much for the comment and questions! Generally a foundation in science or arts would qualify you to pursue a degree in psychology. However, I personally have not heard of any psychology diploma course and I’m not familiar with public university schooling system too. Hence, I’d suggest you to start off with choosing your desired degree course and university. Then, from there on work backwards by contacting the university’s admission and clarify with them the basic qualifications that are needed to enrol into the chosen course. With that, you would know which pre-u course is the right choice for you. Hopefully it answers your question! Wishing you all the best in getting your desired result for SPM! 😊

@@ahyangjy8065 Thank you so much for answering my question !😁

Hi Lieuso! Thanks for commenting! Nope, A-level is one of the many choices that you can choose from if you're interested to pursue Psychology in Malaysia.

Hi Alicia! I am glad that you find it helpful! ^^ I'm not too sure about the actual amount that a Clinical Psychologist is earning in Malaysia. However, according to the website, Payscale, the average yearly salary of a CP in Malaysia is RM43012 (approx. RM3800/month).

Hi, thank you for your comment! I’ve included most of the information in the video. Generally you need a Master in order to become a psychologist or a counsellor in Malaysia. Once you’ve gotten your Master’s degree then you’re qualified to apply for a license to become a counsellor. Hope it answers your question 😊

It's good that you know what you are interested in studying at such a young age. All the best!

Hi Xin Er, After referring to the official website of UKM, it specifically states that the taught language for counselling psych will only be in Malay. You may click on the link below to find out more:- www.ukm.my/portal/master/master-social-science-humanities/

@@ahyangjy8065 got it! Thanks for the sharing information

Hi Michelle! Thank you for your comment and questions! If I understand your first question correctly, you are asking which subjects you should sign up for in your pre-u course if you were to major in psych in a local u. I think different uni has a different entry requirement, so it is always a good idea to call up the uni admission and check it out. Based on my own understanding, generally for psych degree, it is fine to sign up for any subjects in your pre-u course. However, since you have already made the decision to study psychology, then it would be great for your to sign up for courses that would be helpful for your to understand psych content better in the future, e.g. biology & statistics. For your second question, I think you would need to check with your sponsor on that. Different sponsors have different T&Cs. Of course, it'd be great if your sponsor could provide your with a full scholarship for your undergrad studies. And for your last question, yeah! I'd completed my psychology undergraduate study 3 years ago! Feel free to comment further if you have anymore questions to clarify =D

@@ahyangjy8065 this helps alot thank u(-:

Hi Amira, thank you for your comment! Before answering your question, may I know which course/exam board are you enrolled in at the moment? Is it SPM, IGCSE or any other courses which I’m not aware of?

@@ahyangjy8065 yeah spm

If that’s the case I don’t see any reason why you can’t pursue a career in psychology. In order to become a psychologist, you’ll need to attend a pre-u course, then move on to complete a psych undergraduate degree and eventually a master degree in the niche that you’re interested in. Psych degree is a general degree so you don’t necessarily have to major in science or arts to secure a spot for yourself in uni. So yeah, study hard for SPM and get sponsored to complete your tertiary education! All the best!

Hi! Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately you’ll need a degree in psychology in order to pursue master in clinical psychology. However, you may check out master in counselling, it doesn’t require student to have a degree in psych 😊

@@ahyangjy8065 may i know what is the difference between master in counselling with master in psychology. are both related? im a second year student in eng lit at UM and want to pursue career related with psychology. is master in counselling the only option?

Hi, thank for your comment! In my opinion, I think it'd be good if you are able to cope well with biology as clinical psychology focuses a lot on the study of brain. Nonetheless, it's still too early to say you're not good in biology. I've friend who didn't do well in A-levels biology, yet graduated from medical school with 4.0 pointers. So, study hard and don't give up!

@@ahyangjy8065 Thank you so much!!!

Every uni has its pros and cons. It really depends on what you're looking at. For example, fees, distance from your house, accreditation and others. Feel free to comment further if you have other questions to clarify =D

@@ahyangjy8065 Thank you so much for replying kindly! I want to study in university which has quality education in psychology, many iInternational students, and affordable fees!

Hi Sarveena! Thanks for your comment! As far as I know, both science and arts stream students are eligible to sign up for psych degree. However, it’d be great if you have a strong foundation in biology because you’ll be exposed to a wide range of information with regards to the anatomy and physiology of human brain. Hope it answers your question! 😊

@@ahyangjy8065 do I have to score A in science to get in science stream 😬?

I think different school has different requirements. But what’s more important is to consider if you’re interested to study the subject, cus that’s what will get you through challenging times 😊

@@ahyangjy8065 thankyouuuu so muchh ❤❤

Hi there! Thank you for your comment. I wouldn’t be able to give a yes/no answer as the final decision is at the discretion of the university. So I’d suggest you the check it out with your preferred university 😊

You don't need to be excellent in math to study psychology. Nonetheless, it would ease your learning process if you could do or understand basic math concept! Stay focus and work on it, all the best!

Hi Melissa, thank you for your comment and congrats for earning the degree! I think it’s always great to go overseas study and experience different cultures. However, for psychology, if you’re looking to practice as a mental health professional in overseas, you might have to take note of the requirements in different regions. If I’m not mistaken, the standard is pretty high. For example in the UK and US, you need a PhD in order to practice as a psychologist in the country (or for some states). Also, do be careful when you’re applying for psych master in the UK. If you’re planning to practice there as a psychologist, you must make sure the master program that you’re planning to apply is accredited by the HCPC. Moving on, mental health services are highly regulated (I think this is part of the reasons why they need the practitioner to hold a PhD), so I think it is challenging for foreigners to compete for a job in this niche. However, if you’re passionate about becoming a psychologist oversea, it’ll always be a good idea to check with the uni admission in order to understand how the system works over there! Hope these answers are helpful! Feel free to follow up if you had any more questions 😊

​@@ahyangjy8065 thank you for the details!! yup it does help to clarify some doubts! :) Btw are you currently a practitioner in Msia? If yes, any advice to those who tried to pursue this profession? hahaha

Glad that it’s helpful. I did consider to practice in Malaysia, unfortunately it didn’t happen. Nonetheless, in my opinion, I think to practice as a psychologist, you really need to make sure that you’re passionate about improving people’s life, cus it’ll get you through the tough times especially when it come to mental health services, it’s easy to feel burn out. So yeah! It’s difficult but it definitely a very rewarding career. All the best!💪💪

Hi, thanks for commenting on my video! If you are interested to pursue a master degree in counselling, then I think it should not be a huge problem as long as you meet the entry requirement. However, if you are interested to pursue a career as a counsellor in Malaysia then you might need to check this out by giving the Ministry of Woman, Family and Development a call as the Board of Counselling falls under their jurisdiction. You may find the hotline below:- Tel: +603-8000 8000 Faxs: +603-8323 2000 info[at]kpwkm.gov.my Hopefully these information are helpful. All the best! =D

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I think there shouldn't be a problem for you to do so as long as you have been exposed to various subjects and school of thoughts in psychology in your degree.

Hi, thanks for your comment. I don’t know much about criminal psychology or forensic psychology myself. However, after doing some searching online, I found a Reddit thread that might be able to answer your question: www.google.com.my/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/iikznc/how_can_i_take_forensic_psychology_in_malaysia/ Hope this helps 😊

@@ahyangjy8065 thank you !!

Hi Jun Jie, thanks for your comment! To answer your question, you may check out one of my latest videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsphY6Zzq93Mh30.html =D

Hi there! Thanks for your comment! I personally don’t think it’s possible, as the field of counselling is culturally sensitive, hence, you may need to get certified separately to provide counselling services in different part of the world.

@@ahyangjy8065 i see.. if i'm going to pursue a master degree in educational counselling in upm specifically, will i be able to become an educator eg: lecturer/teacher

Yea! The role as a lecturer would largely depends on the JD and requirement set by the university/school. As long as you meet those requirements it shouldn’t be a prob 👌

I don't get what you mean, what are you trying to say actually? 😅

@@ahyangjy8065 Personally, I think it is a useless major especially when you wanna obtain a high paying job. In order to practice , you need PHD just to get a job that fits you. However, in a developing countries such as Malaysia, graduates may find it difficult to get a suitable job due to the low demand in the market. Not only psychology but biotechnology, liberal arts and etc. And psychologists are not real Dr as they're unable to prescribe meds. Their only jobs r talk therapy that does not really help for most of the patients. But, psychiatrist is able to conduct psychotherapy which is much effective than a psychologist. So, why bother majoring in psychology when u can easily seek a psychiatrist for help.

@@slamdunk1759 as a person that had gone through mental health issue psychologist does play a part for my treatment. Psychologist are there to help how to deal with anger or anxiety. Having mental health doesn't mean popping a pill everything will go away. It takes time and mind exercise that psychologist provide. With that being said psychologist does play a big part for people that was diagnosed with mental illness. And saying something is gay to portray it as 'weak' just show how close minded you are.

@@yayathewonder Thanks for the compliment..🤡😂
