The primary goal of the degree program on Psychology is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the human mind and behavior. In the process of doing so, other goals will also be achieved: the knowledge on the traditional theories in psychology; the methodologies of psychological research and statistical concepts; the biological processes underlying behaviour; sensation, perception, information processing and retention; how behaviours develop and change; how internal, environmental, and social factors influence behaviour, individual differences in behaviour, including those related to gender, ethnicity, and culture; different perspectives on the origin and treatment of abnormal behaviour through practical applications; ethical issues in teaching, research, and the practice of professional psychology. A variety of student-centered teaching and learning pedagogies are practiced by the faculty members. Prominent among them is the use of seminars, experimental learning from laboratory research, role-play, group discussions, field visits, workshops and interactions with field experts. Moreover, students are encouraged to participate and present scientific papers at seminars and conferences. Internship is an integral part of the three year B.Sc. Psychology undergraduate degree programme. It was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge and create a natural interest in the practical aspects of the course. Thus the Bachelor’s Degree course provides solid preparation for students who wish to pursue a career in any field that involves people, including education, business, and health care, sports, or community. The Bachelor’s degree in Psychology is ideal for individuals who seek an understanding of behavioural principles while pursuing a well- rounded education and is also designed to provide a strong foundation for Master’s degree programs.
