Scarcity of trained services and professionals is one of the fundamental barriers to the progress of mental health services in India. It was to overcome this scarcity, that Chitkara School of Psychology and Counselling launched the M.Sc in Psychology program.
The program is committed to the pursuit of a science-based approach to psychology. The clinical-scientist model serves as the basis of our training program that prepares graduates for a wide range of careers in academic, medical, and applied settings. As such, graduates of the program are expected to be competent in psychological research and be knowledgeable about the scientific bases of clinical psychology applications, such as assessment and intervention.
This multipronged training is consistent with the University’s mission of developing outstanding scientists and researchers in Psychology, while ensuring that graduates are competent to use these skills in applied clinical settings. The program is focused on developing skilled and ethical professionals who are competent in interpersonal relationships, assessment and evaluation, intervention and consultation, and research. This course is, thus, perfectly suited for Psychology graduates interested in careers as practitioners or researchers.
