Hi Aatrayee,

Do you have any idea about USA universities which offer a Ph.D. in I/O Psychology? Which are the good and recognized ones?

Hi Tanusree,

I'm sorry, I have very little idea about institutes in the US or UK conducting courses for I/O. However, as soon as I learn something, I'll let you know. :)

Hi,
Is Annamalai really one of the best for distance learning in Psychology? Please tell me about the possible scope of the course. I am working as a software proffessional but wish to move to the HR field. So can the course be of any help to me in this regards? Please advise.

I am Ram, a BCom graduate. I want to do a course in Psychology but I don't know how to start. Can you help me out with it?

Thank you.

Hi,

I did my graduation in biotech and then left my studies. Now, it's been some 6-7 years that I have been away, but now I want to continue. I want to pursue an M.Sc. in psychology. Is there any age limit for this? Can I study psychology? Are there any universities other than the ones suggested above? If so, could you please recommend some that could assist me with this? Additionally, how much are the fees, which course should I opt for as I am unsure which psychological course is in demand, and is there an entrance test for the course?

Furthermore, is distance education for these courses worthwhile? Can one secure a job through it?

Regards,
Miral

Hi Aatrayee,

Thank you for your valuable inputs. I do have the following queries:

1. After completing my MSc from Annamalai, could I continue with my masters and pursue a PhD?
2. Would this course be sufficient if I were to practice Psychology on my own?

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi,

Does anybody have an idea about a university offering a Diploma in Psychology in India through distance education?

Hey guys, this course is for any graduate with a 3-year graduate program, not for a 2-year pass course. Please suggest any other options. How is ISABS?

Kindly mention your location, and I can suggest the university offering psychology that is very close to you. Anyone can pursue this course through distance mode; there is no age bar, and no entrance test is required.

I'm based out of Hyderabad. Can you please suggest a university to pursue an MSc in Applied Psychology through Distance/Online mode?
