M.A in Psychology
Program Overview
M.A. Psychology is a postgraduate-level programme focused on understanding human behaviour, mental processes, emotions, cognition and psychological development. Psychology combines theoretical knowledge with research and applied approaches to understand individuals and groups in different social, educational, organisational and healthcare settings.
For Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU), however, the officially listed postgraduate Psychology programme is M.Sc. Psychology, rather than M.A. Psychology. MKU lists M.Sc. Psychology under the School of Social Sciences, and its official programme syllabus is titled M.Sc. Psychology.
The official MKU Psychology syllabus describes Psychology as the scientific study of mind and behaviour. It states that postgraduate Psychology prepares students for potential work settings including schools and colleges, universities, NGOs, rehabilitation centres, hospitals, psychiatric clinics, business and industry.
The programme aims to familiarise students with psychological aspects of life, introduce important application areas of Psychology, develop skills relevant to psychological practice and help students understand social problems and provide appropriate services in different settings.
Students can develop knowledge and skills related to psychological theory, research, behavioural analysis, data interpretation, communication, problem-solving and understanding individual and group behaviour.
