Highlights
The M.Sc Counselling Psychology programme is designed to equip students with a deep understanding of therapeutic techniques and psychological theories essential for promoting mental well-being and personal growth. The curriculum blends foundational courses in counselling theories, psychotherapy models, developmental psychology, and abnormal psychology with focused electives such as trauma therapy, school counselling, and family therapy. Students build practical skills in therapeutic communication, assessment, and culturally sensitive interventions through supervised practicum sessions, role-plays, and case discussions. The programme is delivered by faculty who are actively practicing therapists, supported by dedicated counselling labs and collaborative ties with mental health organizations, providing an enriched learning environment that bridges theory and practice. Hands-on experience forms a critical part of the learning journey, with opportunities for community outreach, institutional counselling assignments, and real client interactions under expert supervision. The final phase includes a supervised research dissertation where students demonstrate their capacity to apply counselling theories to real-world situations. Flexible options such as internships and fieldwork are available for students seeking to deepen their therapeutic expertise. Additionally, international seminars and exchange programmes foster global perspectives and cross-cultural competence. Graduates of this programme are well-prepared for careers as professional counsellors, therapists, school mental health specialists, and NGO leaders. Emphasizing empathy, ethical practice, and societal impact, the MSc Counselling Psychology programme nurtures compassionate professionals capable of addressing contemporary mental health challenges effectively and thoughtfully.
