I have chosen the following subjects:

- General Maths
- English Advanced
- English Extension 1
- Biology
- Geography
- Business Studies
- Economics

Is it possible for me to become a child psychiatrist with a bachelor of psychology from UNSW? Is it necessary to do a degree in Medicine to become a psychiatrist?

Thank you :)

B Psychology lets you become a psychologist
A medical degree is required to become a psychiatrist

Is there absolutely no other way to become a psychiatrist? As I think I'm not capable enough to do medicine.

Since a psychiatry is a doctor/medical specialty, I don't believe there is!

Unless someone else can correct me if I am wrong

You need to be a medical doctor. A psychiatrist is an expert in mental health. They diagnose mental illnesses, analogous to a cardiologist who diagnoses circulatory illnesses.

There is absolutely no other way.
