The qualification required to apply for the programme is a minimum of 50% marks in any bachelor’s degree. Students from any discipline with a Bachelor’s degree can apply. Students pursuing a final year bachelor’s programme are also eligible to apply.
Realising the immense need, the Department of Psychology, JAIN (Deemed-to-be-University), is considered one of the top PG Diploma colleges in Bangalore, has developed a PG Diploma in Counselling Psychology course that is short but would not compromise on the applicative skills of psychology based on a sound foundation of theoretical psychology. The course provides the perfect opportunity for those who have always been interested in the subject but couldn’t pursue it.
Training them in practical communication skills and emotional intelligence would benefit the stakeholders immensely. The course provides a ‘ready-to-use’ skill set that can be dove-tailed to their unique circumstances and professional context.
The PG Diploma in Counselling Psychology is specifically designed for people interested in pursuing psychology but who do not have a background in psychology. Special attention has been given to ensuring that foundation concepts are delivered in the syllabus. The coursework and syllabus have been designed to ensure that students are trained in the micro-skills of counselling and also get ample opportunities to practice them.
Therefore, the internship is emphasised along with the acquisition of theoretical knowledge. The learning lab additionally focuses on training the students to administer psychological assessments that are important in counselling. Overall, the course aims to equip students with counselling skills and a theoretical orientation that they could apply in their specific domain.
