Hi there, To offer some background: I completed my B.A. in Psychology last year in Ireland, and I plan to enter a M.Sc. program this year in the UK. Eventually, I hope to enter a Ph.D. program in clinical psychology in the U.S.. I have dual Ireland–United States citizenship. Is there anything I ought to consider by going this route? Would a Masters improve my chances of gaining admittance to a doctoral program? The M.Sc. I am hoping to enter is a taught program on either child psychopathology, or psychological research, which both include the completion of a dissertation. Thanks!
