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.

please, i have done my research. you sound like a condescending prick.
i applied a conversion masters course, meaning it's MEANT for people with no background in psych. try to find something like this in sg for me. go on. and i plan to get further qualifications after the course, i just want to know about the recognition of the uni, not ask you to critique my course choice/life choice.
and please double check your statements. i can go on linkedin and find you psychologists in sg both civil service and private sector with honours and masters.
finally psychologists aren't only limited to clinical psychologists. there are other fields of specialisation to go into.

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.
