It is advisable to take Psychology as one of the main subjects at the 10+2 level in school to acquire a basic understanding of the subject.

Students are also offered the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in practice of psychology as applied to diverse professional fields through direct internships in the field.

B.Sc. in Psychology: What is it about?

The course has been designed to help eligible candidates delve deep into the study of the mind and its various functions. It involves the study of working of mind processes, conflict resolutions, motives, reactions, feelings, crisis management, group thinking, motivation, and nature of the mind.

Enrolled students are taught to:

plan and engage in independent and sustained critical investigations and evaluations of a chosen research topic.

record original data and apply statistical or other evaluation processes to original data when appropriate

The course integrates theoretical approach with practical applications and includes a compulsory summer internship to enrich students with practical knowledge and familiarize them with the discipline’s applications in the business world.

Candidates interested in pursuing the course would ideally have the ability and desire to work with different age groups and sections of the society, such as children, married couples, and the elderly.
