The Indian School of Business and Finance (ISBF), a renowned institution for global academic excellence, has introduced a BSc Psychology (Hons) programme in partnership with King’s College London, a globally acclaimed university ranked third in the UK for psychology education according to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings.
This programme responds to the growing demand for qualified mental health professionals in India. As awareness of mental health issues increases, but resources remain limited, the programme is designed to equip students with the necessary skills to tackle the country's mental health challenges. To enhance this initiative, ISBF will introduce a psychology laboratory, providing students the opportunity to conduct simulations and experiments, thereby enriching their understanding of psychological concepts and research methods.
Mrs. Arushi Bakshi, Director of ISBF, emphasised that the BSc Psychology (Hons) program, coupled with the dedicated Psychology lab, exemplifies the institution's commitment to providing students with a globally-recognised education. This education seamlessly integrates theoretical rigor with practical application, and our partnership with King's College London ensures students have access to exceptional academic resources and opportunities.
