i just need some opinion from all of you. Smile

in the future i will be going oversea to persue my degree and which country you people think it's better for me to go?
let's say it's psychology degree.

initially i wanted to go austrailia but my teacher told me that she went there to study alone before and was discriminated by an austrailian teenager. it sounds pretty scary.

i also wanted to go france - either switzerland or paris because i like the scenary there but i also heard that there are strong discrimination against asian in france.

so i thought that as a chinese, it would be better for me to go to some asian countries?
japan and korea sound good but i've read many news that some game-addictors are very psychotic. especially when i'm taking psychology.

how about hong kong or taiwan? are they prestigious enough?
i'd probably choose hong kong as taiwan has earthquake.

or you people have any other ideal place which do not have such a strong discrimination, also considering that it's a safe country.

thanks all. sorry that i might be too fussy. Very Happy

National University of Singapore.

What would you like to do with your degree?

AFAIK if you study psychology in NUS, it'll just be a general Arts degree and not a proper degree in psychology.

Weigh the pros and cons of studying in different countries yourself, because nearly wherever you go, there will be discrimination...

Spartans SG

Yup agree. Dun forget NUS is third in ranking among the Asian universities, behind Tokyo university and Beijing university. Prestige enough rite.

Here's something for you.

depends on the degree.

IF u wanna take psych. dun stay in singapore.
esp if u wanna be a psychologist.

and if u go overseas. ur going to paying for it (or your parents. whatever)
might as well make it worth it
dun tell mi u wanna go to a not so good uni to get your degree just cos there is no discrimination there.
anyways, once ur not a local, u will be discriminated against by some pple.
might as well pick a good one
look around
do some research
uni sites are usually very interesting to poke around

this is YOUR education
your life
your future

Different bodies have different criteria for grading and ranking. Therefore, the rankings wont be consistent throughout. I know NUS used a English academics study ranking which placed NUS in 18th place among the world top universities. Havard comes out top(as usual).

RETARDED_MORON SG

I believe liberal arts colleges in USA offer psychology, e.g. Williams, Swarthmore, Middlebury, etc.

i feel that it's a good exposure to study oversea once in a life time and i will learn how to be more independent too. Smile

Study locally first and get a good honours from NUS. Then it will be easier for you to get a scholarship to pursue your masters overseas. You still get that once in a lifetime experience to study overseas. IMO, you should only study overseas IF you are going to a university better than our local ones, or to universities that offer what our unis dont offer. Most Aussie unis are just thrash. You still got time to think bout what you wanna do in future. Keep your options open to other careers.

GHoST_18 SG

u get more than just a degree if u go to an overseas uni…

Kuali Baba SG

Are you really going to let the horror stories ruin your plans? Wherever you go, if something unpleasant happens to you. just take it on the chin. It’s not a bed of roses here either.

knightlll SG

I only know to study psychiatry , it is good to go to University of Pennysylvania in USA.

dangerboi SG

hmm…how does one become a psychiatrist in singapore? go thru medicine course and obtain psychology as a specialization?

aiglosicicle SG

studying overseas is not easy.

you got money?

even if you do it is extremely difficult to enroll yourself in prestigious overseas unis.

CoolMyth SG

If you got any NUS psycho problems, can ask alfagal. Laughing

Plastic Bag SG

Scared of this scared of that... might as well hide under your bed and study. Rolling Eyes
