JIBS Offers and supports two different kinds of student mobility options
Study abroad programs are a unique opportunity to students at OP Jindal Global University. These programs have enabled students to enrol in prestigious universities in various global locations such as USA, the UK, Switzerland, Spain, Japan and Malaysia. The study abroad and dual degree opportunities offered by the Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences (JIBS) are designed to cater to a wide variety of student interests and preferences in the field of behaviour sciences, psychology and management. The primary aim is to allow students to visit acclaimed universities for credit bearing summer and winter programs (STSAP) or to pursue specialised Dual Degree Programmes. Towards this, partnerships have been formed with nine universities which are offering 23 courses to JIBS students.
These partnerships cover eminent institutions in the UK (including Nottingham Trent University, King’s College London, and the Universities of Essex, Leeds, and Southampton) and Australia (University of Melbourne). The courses offered cover highly specialized areas, such as Forensic Mental Health, Cognitive Development and Disorders, Mental Health Studies, Psychoanalytic Studies, Applied Positive Psychology, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Refugee Care, Cyberpsychology and Management & Organisational Dynamics among others.
If students choose dual degree programs, then they can spend one year at JIBS and second year abroad. The potential benefits include gaining academic credit while obtaining exposure to top ranking universities, their labs, academia and diverse student body. This can become a valuable opportunity in skill development and open many professional pathways.
We acknowledge that choosing a University and a course can be a complex task, which is why we at JIBS ensure that students receive all-rounded support and assistance in making their decisions. Which is why we offer the following support for our students:
One-to-one counselling on academic pathways, scholarships, and country-specific requirements offered by the members of the faculty
Guidance aligned with students’ interest and overseas opportunities.
Help with preparing application documents, such as, SOPs, LORs, and CVs
Visa counselling and documentation support.
After completing a Master's degree in the UK, one can apply for the Graduate Route visa to stay and work in the UK! In order to be eligible, one must be in the UK and must have completed an eligible course, with one’s educational institution confirming one’s completion to the Home Office.
Duration
A graduate visa lasts for 2 years usually but If one earns a PhD or other doctoral qualification, then it will last for 3 years.
What does this VISA allows?
It allows eligible students to work in most jobs, look for work and be self-employed.
The International Collaborations (IC) office at Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences (JIBS) works in close partnership with the Office of International Affairs and Global Initiatives (IAGI) at O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) to provide a diverse array of study abroad opportunities for our Master’s students.
Among the various opportunities offered, students can participate in dual degree programmes, which allow them to earn degrees from both JGU and a partnering international institution. Semester exchange programmes enable students to spend a semester at a partner university, immersing themselves in a different academic and cultural environment.
JIBS also provides students with the chance to attend short-term summer and winter schools at partner universities. These programs are designed to offer intensive courses, workshops, and cultural experiences that broaden students’ academic horizons and global understanding within a short timeframe.

Embarking on my journey at King’s College London through the dual degree program with the Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences was a remarkable experience. As a participant in the Master of Science program in Mental Health Studies, I gained invaluable hands-on expertise in authentic, real-world environments. The clinical volunteering opportunities provided by South London & Maudsley (SLaM) and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts, along with the Theory into Practice (TiP) Modules, greatly enriched my learning experience.
