I am now pursuing BA Journalism from Calcutta University. Can I go for MA in psychology after completing this degree? please answer.

Hello Rajshree,

Yes, you can very well go for MA Psychology.MA Psychology is indeed a very good option if you are interested in the field of psychology. Psychology is the study of human behavior and the demand for this course is continuously growing. Some subjects you may study under MA Psychology are General Psychology, Applied Psychology,Social Psychology, Clinical Psychology,Counselling Psychology, Health Psychology, Industrial Psychology,Sports Psychology and many more in which you may specialize in future by doing M.Phill and Ph.D if you are interested . But, it is also to be noted that not all specializations are available in India when is comes to higher education in Psychology. For that best option is to go for abroad education. Career scope is also far advanced outside India for now. However, you may successfully enter into careers like mental health counselling,clinical psychology(only after Ph.D), career counselling,social worker,researcher,teaching,human resource and many more. However, for this subject you need to have deep passion and service mindedness to excel in your chosen profession.This is just a snippet of information about psychology therefore, I would suggest you to do a detailed research about,explore your interests and decide based on the career prospect which you think may suit you the best.
