DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology is the study of people; their behavior, motivations, thoughts and feelings. Psychologists are interested in how people act as individuals, and interact in groups. They use their understanding together with counseling and other forms of therapy, to help people avoid, overcome or control their problems. The Department of Psychology was established in 1989 with introduction of various teaching programme, Masters in Psychology, started in 1990, however, M.Phil in Psychology got initiated in 2013.

Department of Psychology attracts students from all over the Province. We aim to equip students with rigorous practical and theoretical principles, as well as sound ethical, professional and research skills, to enable them to become an effective and competent professional psychologist. To prepare them for the challenges, we offer a blend of theory, science, and practice, resulting in graduates who have the knowledge, skills, and values to be effective personal/social change agents in community and society. To meet this objective, students are placed in different hospitals on internship for real understanding of their role as a psychologist. The instructions in various courses are mainly transacted through interactive classroom teaching, intensive student teacher interaction, assignments, group discussions, seminars, extension lectures, practical training in testing, experiments and computers. Besides field and lab training, students also undertake a project/dissertation on contemporary issues in organizations, social, clinical, health, and counseling, under the guidance of competent faculty members.

Our professional and academic training enables students to work in a broad range of settings, including medical, industry, government agencies, counseling centers and academic and research settings, among others. Thus, socially responsible practitioners are prepared to meet the needs of a complex and changing world. Our alumni have become part of some of the prestigious organizations and hospitals, armed forces, colleges, universities, NGOs & INGOs. Our students have immense potential to excel in research in different areas of specialization and are ready to contribute towards holistic development of the society.

The faculty development programmes/seminars/workshops are organized by the department and faculty members also actively participate in academic programmes, both at national and international level.
