One of the most attractive aspects of the Psychology Masters offered here is the emphasis on field based practicum and hands on training. Students are placed in multiple field sites where they are exposed to the real world of work of professional psychologists and receive training in handling cases in the field of psychology, within their chosen domain.

Students are exposed to the various adjustment problems, career choices and creative endeavors of children, adolescents and families.

Students learn hands on how to deal with people facing severe mental illness and conditions that would require long term treatment, care and rehabilitation. This postgraduate programme focuses exclusively on Counselling Psychology, integrating theoretical foundations with practical training. It prepares students to work effectively in diverse mental health and community settings, fostering emotional resilience, self-awareness, and ethical practice.
