Bachelor of Science Honours in Psychology

Psychology is a subject which is unique as it’s an area where most subjects intersect and come across. As such there is always a huge demand for qualified psychologists as well as other professionals in the field of study. However, there exists a huge void in the education sector of Sri Lanka as the opportunities are lacking to study Psychology as a degree level programme which is accredited in Sri Lanka itself. The various degrees currently offered in Sri Lanka are mostly awarded by foreign universities and the need for a locally developed curriculum with added focus on areas of local interest in the field of Psychology has been long apparent.

Thus KIU will be offering a Curriculum which was locally developed and has the approval of the UGC. The programme is delivered by a panel of PhD, MPhil and MSc qualified lecturers who hold the highest qualifications in the field of psychology. Most lecturers are Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) registered professionals in the field of clinical psychology and have published research studies in international medical journals.

Bachelor of Science Honours in Psychology degree programme is designed to provide you with a thorough knowledge on the basics of Psychology as well as in intricate areas such as abnormal psychology, cognitive psychology and criminological psychology. Our degree programme places great emphasis on what the demands of the Sector are and therefore our courses are intended to address areas such as sport psychology and health psychology as well.
