Hello,

After Bsc, you have multiple options.

  1. Complete your M.Sc Psychology. This would be your foundation + stepping stone for further diversification into the field of your choice.
  2. After M.Sc, you could consider M.Phil in Psychology or Philosophy. From the evolutionary aspect, Philosophy is considered Psychology’s mother.
  3. In parallel or subsequent to M.Sc, you can continue to research/study other branches/specializations in Psychology like

    1. Abnormal Psychology
    2. Behavioral Psychology
    3. Bio psychology
    4. Clinical Psychology
    5. Cognitive Psychology
    6. Comparative Psychology
    7. Counseling Psychology
    8. Existential Psychology
  4. From what I understand, the above are well-established. There could be other branches in the domain.
  5. Keep researching on the various development and prospects in Psychology domain. An “imperfect science”, Psychology is definitely evolving, vast and expansive, and I believe, also intriguing and prospective, money-wise and growth-wise.
  6. There is a lot of ongoing research + experiments + technology integrations + postulations/hypotheses by experts + studies, cases in point, telekinesis, teleportation, telepathy, ESP and the Paranormal.
  7. It is worth noting that a vast part of this expanse of this “study of the mind and behavior” is still unexplored and thus unravelling.

You can do psychology related courses from:

  • Indian Institute of Psychology and Research, Bangalore
  • Gujarat Forensic Sciences University
  • Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan National Institute of Criminology & Forensic Science (LNJN NICFS)
  • Lovely Professional Unversity,Punjab
  • National Brain Research Centre, Gurgaon
  • Banaras Hindu University (Varanasi)
  • Aligarh Muslim University
  • NIMHANS
  • Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai
  • Delhi University, Delhi

All the best !!
