Dear Seniors, I want to do an MA in psychology. I have completed my graduation in commerce, but now I am interested in psychology. Being an HR Generalist, how beneficial would that be, and which field would be the best: industrial, organizational, or human psychology in the context of my career prospects?
Pursuing Psychology in Mumbai
Additionally, in Mumbai, where can I pursue this course through correspondence as I am currently working and unable to commit to full-time studies? I am looking for a reputable college in Mumbai.
Furthermore, I am considering pursuing a Ph.D. in psychology after completing my MA. Please provide suggestions.
Thank you.

Hi Sonal, I think most universities do not offer an MA in Psychology as an external course; one has to do it through college. In terms of specialization, if you plan to continue in HR, then Organizational or Human Psychology may be more beneficial. Again, I feel you need to be clear on how you want to grow professionally while attaining educational milestones. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Can you tell me a suitable university or college where I can pursue the course professionally? Currently, I am pursuing an MBA in HRM through ICFAI University. I have cleared the 1st semester, and there are 3 more semesters left, which will be completed by January 2013. Along with that, I want to pursue this psychology course because it is my interest and will also help me professionally.

Dear Sonal,
Considering a Part-Time Degree in Psychology for HR Ops
A part-time degree in any of the mentioned streams of Psychology can add value to HR Operations, but it depends significantly on your current work profile (Roles & Responsibilities). No doubt, a postgraduate qualification in Psychology is a creative addition to the professional practice of HR Operations. However, the areas where it may be extendable for a value-add process are limited.
If I may request, kindly make an action plan (like a blueprint) after reviewing the different course contents of each stream. Significantly brainstorm how you wish to absorb the knowledge base and contribute to your present work.
