Dear Candidate, IILM University, Gurgoan is offering three years full time B.A. (Honors) undergraduate programme which aimed to demonstrate strong theoretical knowledge of basic psychological principles for future training or work in different domains of psychology. Need for Psychology was never felt as strongly as it is in the current day and age. Department of Psychology in any University will always stand out no matter which space they occupy. The reason behind this is how it employs empirical methods and incorporates scientific values while studying topics that explain contemporary disciplines like human development, the role of personality, cognitive processes in early development, social influences to behavior and cross-cultural psychology. Newer specializations like Psychopathology, Positive Psychology, Emotional Intelligence, Neurosciences are gaining popularity because people are open to change and this makes studying Psychology at IILM University in undergraduate all the more interesting. Psychology in India is gaining importance, and its demand is on the rise. After completing an undergrad in Psychology, students may get an opportunity to work in different areas as;
1. Counsellors are required in NGOs, Old age homes, Rehabilitation centers etc. In old-age homes, counsellors job is to ensure that the residents should not feel lonely or worthless.
