Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behavior based on robust research methods. The psychology major in the School of Liberal Arts and Humanities at O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills and awareness required to apply psychological principles to the world around you. While retaining the essence of a scientist practitioner model which emphasizes theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the psychology major embedded within the BALH program amalgamates this traditional approach with inter-disciplinarity. It is geared towards training students to conceptualize complex world phenomena though a psychological lens rooted in a multidisciplinary perspective.   

This approach draws upon knowledge, perspectives and methods drawn from the arts and sciences. Creating course content that examines the intersection between psychology and other disciplines provides scope for divergent disciplinary perspectives that foster essential graduate attributes of critical thinking for problem solving as well as generate curiosity for lifelong learning in an ever-changing world. Combined with an experiential pedagogy that places emphasis on self-reflection and analysis, we believe that our students are well equipped to pursue graduate studies in psychology as well as branch out to explore the interconnections within psychology and related disciplines, whether it be through professional commitments, research or academic pursuits.
