Hi everyone, trust everyone is having a great weekend. I am new to this forum, stumbled on it while searching for Universities I could apply for a PHD.

My primary concern at the moment is I would like to diversify from my background educational career because it is new and getting opportunities in the field is very difficult.

I have a first degree in Psychology B.Sc and proceeded to do a masters in Health Psychology M.Sc.

The challenge I have now is either I further my program in Health psychology for a PHD, I attempted enrolling into Massey University in NewZealand but was declined because they didn't have the capacity to take me at the moment. Other Universities I checked in New Zealand does not offer PHD in health Psychology
PLEASE NOTE: I chose New Zealand because the fees for International Students is same with the local students.

Currently I am either looking for Universities capable of funding PHD health psychology.

A University I can work as an Assistant Lecturer whilst pursuing my PHD program.

Or

A new program related to health psychology which (health psychology) can serve as a prerequisite to the PHD course. A course with wide opportunities to get a job.

I appreciate your honest and experienced advice in anticipation.

Thanks

If you are looking for suggestions for programs that you might look further into, it would help to first narrow down the places you would like to go to school and eventually work. In which country (or countries) would you be looking to work after graduation? I'd start by looking for programs in that area. Makes networking (and potentially licensing etc.) easier once you get close to graduation and are looking for a job.
