The curriculum introduces experimental methods and basic cognitive assessment techniques, preparing students for further study and entry-level roles in research, education, and applied psychology settings.

The Industrial Behaviour specialisation explores how individuals and groups behave in workplace and organisational contexts. Students examine topics such as motivation, job satisfaction, leadership, teamwork, and organisational culture, with an emphasis on employee well-being and performance. Through case studies and practical exposure, learners develop foundational skills relevant to careers in human resources, training, and workplace mental health support.

The Clinical Psychology specialisation introduces students to the foundations of mental health, psychological disorders, and basic principles of assessment and intervention.

This specialisation builds a strong base for higher studies in clinical psychology and related fields, and nurtures sensitivity towards mental health issues in diverse communities.

The Counselling Psychology specialisation focuses on helping skills, emotional support, and guidance across various life challenges. Students develop core competencies in active listening, empathy, basic counselling techniques, and ethical awareness in supportive roles. Exposure to school, community, and organisational contexts prepares learners for further training in professional counselling and for roles that involve providing psychological support and guidance.

The Health Psychology specialisation examines how psychological factors influence physical health, illness, and health-related behaviour. Students explore topics such as stress, coping, lifestyle behaviours, adherence to medical advice, and health promotion. The curriculum encourages an understanding of how to support behaviour change and well-being, laying the groundwork for future roles in health promotion, community health, and applied health psychology.

The Social Psychology specialisation investigates how individuals think, feel, and behave in social situations and group contexts. Students study attitudes, stereotypes, social influence, group dynamics, and interpersonal relationships, with applications to contemporary social issues. This specialisation builds analytical and critical thinking skills that are valuable in fields such as marketing, communication, social research, and community work.

The Forensic Psychology specialisation introduces the interface between psychology and the legal and criminal justice systems. Students gain foundational insights into criminal behaviour, victimology, and the roles psychologists may play in investigative and corrective settings.
