1. B.Sc. (Hons.) Mental Health
OBJECTIVE
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our emotional wellbeing. Moreover, it has been a
catalyst for raising awareness about mental health. Challenges arise in meeting the need
for mental health services due to the social stigma, insufficient number of mental health
professionals (MHPs), and a disjointed health care system. This has created a dire need
for trained and dynamic professionals who are passionate about psychology and
health care.
There are numerous certificate courses and diploma programmes that train students only
in certain aspects of mental health and psychology. However, our B.Sc in Mental Health
programme has a robust and holistic curriculum which helps students of any
stream imbibe skills along with in-depth knowledge of mental health. This gives
them the required educational qualifications to be workforce ready.
Mental health disorders are usually viewed as an individual issue - this programme focuses
on busting that myth by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to mental health. It
equips students to gain a thorough understanding of how life experiences, community,
culture, law, the economic and political climate, environmental concerns, physical and
mental health systems contribute to an individual's experience of mental health and
mental illness across an individual's lifespan. Thereby, highlighting the need to integrate
these factors in the management of mental illness.
What differentiates this degree from existing ones such as a B.A. or B.Sc. in Psychology,
Psychology Honours, Applied Psychology and others is the focus on building core
competencies and skills. These include empathy, communication, negotiation,
collaboration with different stakeholders, psychoeducation and drafting integrated
management plans. Students will also be trained in mental health advocacy, awareness,
and destigmatization. This allows students to choose upon graduation, whether they would

mental health around the world.
