Episode 11 - Masters Selections; For Loved Ones - Dr Kameshnee Ramasamy

Masters Selections; For Loved Ones. Every year, hundreds of students apply for various Psychology Masters programmes around South Africa. Students pour their hearts and minds into applications and autobiographies in the hopes that a university will select them to interview for a space in the class of the following year. While this time is stressful for the students, the family support systems of these students is of put under tremendous strain too. This podcast was created in order to help the families and loved ones of these brave students understand the selection process and what the students are trying to achieve. We have asked Dr Kameshnee Ramasamy, a Clinical Psychologist from Nelson Mandela University, to help us understand some of the behind-the-scenes procedures that make selections the way they are. We also look into the reasons as to why these selections need to be as stringent as they have become over the past few years. If you're an applicant and you want someone in your support system to understand what you're going through, have them listen to this podcast (maybe even with you); this one is for the loved ones. Dr Ramasamy runs a Private Practice in Port Elizabeth - 39 Fourth Avenue, Newton Park (041 365 7750). She has also had a massive involvement in the Enthomjeni - Fountain of Student Wellness project at NMU. Click the link above for more details on that initiative.
