You can pursue a Master's in Psychology or Clinical Psychology in Canada or Australia with a Bachelor's in Biology, but your pathway depends on the specific program.

- Master's in Psychology (non-clinical): Many programs accept students from related fields like Biology, especially if you complete required prerequisite psychology courses or a bridging program.
- Master's in Clinical Psychology: These are more competitive and usually require a strong foundation in psychology. Some universities may consider your application if you complete additional psychology coursework or prerequisites.

Your 30 months of work experience, especially if related to healthcare or research, can strengthen your application.
