The aim of the programme is to provide learners a sound base in psychology and human behaviour through an in depth investigation into a broad range of psychological principles, techniques and skills, as applied to diverse settings. In the present scenario psychologists are in great demand ranging from educational institutions, rehabilitation centres, hospitals to various organizations and industries, both in public and private sector. Psychology is also being applied to various new and emerging areas like sports, forensic, military, police, aviation, etc. Keeping the above in view and the commitment of IGNOU to provide quality education at low costs to those who have for some reason or the other missed opportunities for further studies, the present programme caters to varied clientele, such as fresh graduate students as well as those who want to enter the employment arena and those already employed but do not possess the necessary qualification in Psychology.
