then why not study in NUS/NTU/SMU for a master, you can save a lot studying locally I assume.

1. NUS and NTU does offer psych.
2. Uni of nottingham wont get you in civil service as a psychologist.
3. Without even an bachelors in psych, you will find it hard to be hired at all. 2 years of masters coursework is basically equivalent to an extra 2 years on undergrad work. Undergrads regularly take post-grad modules and vice versa.
4. You will lack the 4 year foundational psych knowledge, and although nottingham might not mind, employers would.

then you probably need to think why local Us r not offering such courses and the potential job market for such courses.

about 1, I heard once from an NUS psych undergrads that local Us don't have master program for psych, so he applied for PhD program instead. If that's true, which should be given it's from a psych undergrad, then it probably indicate the lack of recognition of psych master degree locally. He also mention to me psych consultation related jobs r scarce locally.

If you guys cant even find these online, maybe youre not cut out for masters. There is no body that gives accreditation for psychology masters in Singapore. But it is pretty well regarded that to be a psychologist, at least at an IMH standard, you need a Phd. So your friend skipping his masters for a phd is a good move. To be regarded as a psychologist, one needs a phd. Masters are not that well regarded. Even with a masters, one can only be considered as a counsellor, like those that work with NIE/MOE.
