RA after completing the Psychology Conversion programme in the UK
Hello! This is my first time writing here to seek advice. I would greatly appreciate your genuine insights.
I am a South Korean student who graduated with a degree in psychology from a university in Korea, and I now intend to continue my career in psychology in the UK. However, I have not yet clearly defined my research interests or my role (whether as a practitioner or a researcher). As a result, I applied to a Conversion programme first and have received offers from two institutions so far. As I progress through the programme, I intend to refine my research interests and identify specific professors and universities of interest.
Given this situation, I am currently considering pursuing a research career, so I am thinking of taking on an RA (Research Assistant) position during the Gap Year that follows the Conversion programme. However, as an international student, I am unsure if this plan is realistic. Since I have a Graduate Visa, I believe visa issues shouldn’t be a problem, but I am unsure if there might be other obstacles.
Could you provide any advice on this? After the RA position, I am considering further training through an MRes or PhD.
