Can a Counseling Psychology Master's Graduate from Mumbai University Work in Australia?

Ans: Hello Southa,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that your son is currently pursuing the 2nd year of his MBBS degree and thereafter wishes to pursue his post-graduation (PG) in Australia or Dubai. As an answer to your query, I would like to tell you that the following procedures and considerations need to be taken into account in order for your son to pursue his postgraduate studies. Your son will first need to shortlist universities that provide the PG programs he’s interested in pursuing. I would recommend that he looks into the particular prerequisites as well as eligibility requirements for postgraduate courses in these preferred countries. This entails academic credentials, examinations viz., the PLAB or AMC exams in Australia, hands-on (job) experience, as well as appearing for language competency tests viz., OET or the IELTS. Fill out and submit applications, and be sure to include all the necessary documentation. Your son will also need to consider other aspects. He will need to take into account the prerequisites for health insurance for overseas students in the country he decides to study in. I would also suggest that your son investigates the lodging options and arranges for the same well in advance. In addition, considering you belong to the middle-class category, it’s essential that your son plans his finances. He should investigate the grants, scholarships, and other forms of monetary assistance offered to overseas students studying in Australia or Dubai. Moreover, to reduce the costs of living, your son should engage in part-time jobs available for students in these nations. He should comprehend the visa prerequisites associated with studying in these two countries and finish the visa application procedure. Remember that acquiring assistance from experts or academic advisors with expertise in foreign admissions can prove beneficial. They will be in a better position to offer guidance throughout the application procedure, provide assistance with all the required paperwork, as well as provide information on the courses that would best resonate with your son's future goals and monetary circumstances. Finally, to enhance your son’s application to pursue postgraduate courses abroad, I would recommend that you support him in achieving academic excellence and acquiring pertinent work experience.

Ans: Hello Nagendra. First and foremost, thank you for contacting us.
With a higher diploma in psychology from Northampton University, UK, your son must have a good foundation and the skills required for working in the field.The job prospect varies as per certain factors like educational qualification, previous work experience (if any), future goals, and personal preferences. If required, your son may also consider pursuing further education such as certificates or online programmes with a specialisation in counselling, clinical psychology, or organisational psychology. This would help him choose his career path in the market. The following are the career paths your son can choose:

1. Healthcare: Your son can choose to have a career as a psychological assistant, mental health support worker in hospitals or clinics.

2. Education: With the importance of mental health among students increasing, the need for educational psychologists and student support advisers is increasing. Here, your son can assist students with behavioural issues and learning difficulties.

3. Human Resource Management: One of the common roles of psychology graduates is that of human resources. This includes similar roles as an organisational behaviour analyst, a talent acquisition specialist, and an employee development expert.

Besides all this, it is important to understand your son’s strengths and weaknesses when exploring the ideal career path. It would be preferable if your son gained some initial experience through internships or volunteering.

For further assistance, you can get in touch with us.

Ans: If he has got admission in a good college, then can take it up. Else it is preferred that he write the entrance exams again to get a better college.

Ans: Dear Laxmanan...Sending your son to Australia for a Master’s in ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) can be a valuable investment, given Australia’s strong reputation for quality education, advanced research facilities, and excellent job opportunities in the engineering sector. However, the high cost, including tuition fees and living expenses, can be a significant financial burden. To determine if it's prudent, consider factors such as potential scholarships, part-time work options, and the return on investment through job prospects in Australia post-graduation, as the country offers a high demand for skilled engineers. If the expected job market outcomes align with the financial commitment and future career growth, then it can be a worthwhile decision.
