-Firstly, do you NEED to do a masters before a PhD, and how many people normally do a masters beforehand? Does this depend on how much preperation you have done at undergraduate level- i.e. if your 3rd year dissertation is on the same topic of your potential PhD and you know the area well would you need a masters?
-Secondly, I know people who have done paid and unpaid research assistant posts after uni. Where do you find out about such placements? I would quite like to do something like this. I am interested in comparative psychology, but i wouldn't mind doing other things.
Ideally I would like to be a psych lecturer. Im a second year at the moment.
Anyway thanks!
