depends, in US i think its normally 5 years.Originally posted by sir sickolot II:can anyone enlighten me how long did it take to undertake your PhD program?
And during the time you were at the university, did you have to teach classes as a requirement?
I'm told the normal duration for a PhD is 3-4 years, correct?
thanks =)
but yeah 3-4 normally i think.
and you can choose to do either by coursework, or by research. -
I took 3.5 years to complete my doctorate. teaching was not compulsory at my university but you could either volunteer to teach or apply as a paid lecturer.Originally posted by sir sickolot II:can anyone enlighten me how long did it take to undertake your PhD program?

What exactly does an organisational psychologist do? Need local certification? Or international certification is accpeted as well? What education route did you take to get to where you are?Originally posted by Gedanken:Likewise, prawnkiller!
In my case, we've got four doctorate holders in the office, and one out of three people I interact with on a regular basis, both at and away from work, have the title. Under those circumstances, the "doctor" thing becomes part of the furniture.
I'm an organisational psychologist, and my consulting work's about 70% with government departments and 30% with commercial clients. -
for my university, it's 70K to 100K words.Originally posted by fymk:Mebbe I should not go on further.....10k words I already sian.....50k-70k for PhD .....really permanent head damage. -
What's an org psych do? That's a tough one - the field covers a wide range of things from human resources, organisational strategy and industrial relations to human factors and ergonomics. Personally, I've done some human factors work looking at pilot training and implementation of computer systems, but the biggest part of my experience in my earlier years was in designing recruitment and selection systems. These days, I'm working on organisational culture and program evaluations.Originally posted by crispylips:What exactly does an organisational psychologist do? Need local certification?

I'm registered to practice in Australia. The requirements are a postgrad degree in psychology (the registration board assesses the qualification to make sure that it covers all of the key topics in psychology), plus a minimum of 120 days' practice supervised by a registered psychologist. my understanding is that Singaporean registration only requires 50 days of supervised practice.
As for education, I completed a doctorate in organisational/industrial psychology at the University of Melbourne. -
So you went through the whole process of bachelor degree, master and then doctorate in psychology?
Are you in practicing in singapore? Or are you in Australia? Are there many people doing what you do? It sounds interesting! -
Yup, eight years at univeristy in total.Originally posted by crispylips:So you went through the whole process of bachelor degree, master and then doctorate in psychology?

I did do some work in Singapore in 2004/5, but since the beginning of last year I returned to Melbourne, so I've been practicing here ever since.
My field isn't very big - most psychologists tend to go for clinical, counselling and other warm and fuzzy specialisations, and the psych world generally views us org psychs as the dark side of the force. I think they're just jealous because we make more money than them.
When I was first being interviewed for the doctorate program, I asked the convenor how many applications he'd received. Counting international applications, about 1200 Honours grads applied for the 12 places in my course, so I don't think I did too badly.
But yeah, it's fun. I'm the sort to get bored easily and my range of clients keeps me happy. On top of that, my work combines business and psychology, and that lends itself to a whole lot of applications. In my free time, I tend to stick my fingers into cross-disciplinary work by throwing ideas about with friends and providing advice to them about setting up their management structures and processes, or the statistical side of medical research. -
wow... so is phd hard?

Is it study in ite to phd possible? I am currently studying in ite. I am dreaming again!
