I was directed to this post, and am currently using my brother's phone. As a first class graduate psychology graduate from UK, who is currently studying nursing in UK, I will say don't even dream about doing any psychology masters abroad ...total waste of money with no job at all. Psychology is not easy by the way, I thought that way as well and oh boy was I wrong, there is a lot of statistics and critical analysis.

My advice will be do psychology in Nigeria and then apply for a nursing course called Msc pre-registered nurse(what am currently doing) it get you qualified in two years, and you can apply for this if you have a first degree in health and social care(psychology is good for this, expecially if you go to the mental health discipline).

Another option is to do bsc nursing really, you will still get to teach people and your settlement will be really easy as there is demand for nurses.

Psychology is good and interesting, but it won't pay your bills except if you do your PhD and become an accredited psychologist, only then can you even start lecturing.

And you can also do PhD in nursing , become a nurse consultant that specialised in an area and do lectures on it.

Good luck erhn.

Please my wife has a degree in Nigeria in applied psychology,can she go ahead to apply for Msc nursing mental health,she is not that good with biology will that in any way be a challenge....Please sir your swift response will greatly appreciated...
