BSc (Honours) Educational Psychology

Overview

The BSc (Honours) Educational Psychology degree is the Syed Ahsan Ali and Syed Maratib Ali School of Education's first undergraduate major. It brings together the science of the mind and the practice of education. Students ask how people think, develop and learn, and how learning can be designed, assessed and supported in schools and beyond.

Students build a full foundation in psychology alongside focused study of education: human development, motivation, learning, curriculum, teaching and assessment. They also train in quantitative and qualitative research methods. Field placements and supervised research projects let them test what they learn in real educational settings.

This combination keeps pathways to graduate study open across the branches of psychology, while preparing students specifically to work with learners. Dedicated coursework in inclusion, mental health and wellbeing equips graduates to support learners of every background and ability. It also prepares them to help build classrooms where every student feels they belong.

Graduates can pursue careers in teaching, school mental health and wellbeing, research, policy and EdTech. They can also go on to further study in educational, clinical, counselling, or child and adolescent psychology, or in education.

Who is this programme for?

The Educational Psychology major is designed for students interested in how people learn and develop, and in applying that understanding in real educational settings.

It is ideal for those who:

Are curious about motivation, thinking, emotion and learning differences,
Wish to work in teaching, special education, counselling, clinical, wellbeing or educational development,
Are drawn to inclusion and supporting learners of all backgrounds and abilities, and
Seek a discipline that combines scientific rigour with social impact

Why choose this programme?

The programme provides rigorous training in psychological theory and research, applied to learning and education. Students take a set of core courses, then choose electives across four structured domains, which builds both breadth and depth. University free electives leave room to explore other disciplines.

Core areas of study include:

Fundamentals of Psychology for Education
Research Methods and Statistics
Child and Adolescent Development
Learning and Motivation
Diversity, Disability and Inclusion
Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Mental Health and Wellbeing

Field placements and supervised research give students hands-on experience in schools and other learning environments. This strengthens their analytical skills and deepens their understanding of the contexts in which learning happens.

Graduates pursue careers in education, school mental health and wellbeing, research, policy and programme development, EdTech and NGOs. Many continue to graduate training in psychology and education.

How should students decide their preferred major?

Students should approach major selection as an informed but flexible decision by reflecting on subjects they genuinely enjoy and perform well in, rather than choosing solely based on perceived job prospects or external pressure. Students should consider their natural interests, the types of problems they find engaging, and the skills they'd like to develop. It's also important to recognize that their chosen major does not determine their future career path. Employers value transferable skills like critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving that can be developed across all majors offered by MGSHSS. Students should focus on selecting a field where they would be engaged enough to excel academically and develop essential transferable skills.

How will students be supported at MGSHSS?

New students are guided through the Orientation week, which combines exciting online and in-person activities to acquaint students with peers, faculty members, advisors, and the 91�� campus. Orientation week helps students prepare for intellectual challenges, learn about essential university policies, and form close ties with university support services officials as well as other members of their cohort. Academic Advising staff and PALS are available year-round to support students and guide their academic journey at 91��.

The MGSHSS Academic Advising Unit (AAU) team and faculty advisors assist students in identifying and meeting their academic targets.

MGSHSS and CAPS provide in-house counselling and pastoral care to ensure students' health and wellness. The School also ensures that all first-year students meet with faculty advisors throughout the year.

How will MGSHSS prepare and equip students for future success?

Over the decades, MGSHSS has earned a global reputation in the field of humanities and social sciences. A community of world-class scholars, vibrant teaching, internationally recognized research, and an innovative curriculum all combine to produce an undergraduate programme of the highest international standards. The vibrant intellectual environment at MGSHSS has nurtured leaders, thinkers, writers, and innovators.

Our students from diverse academic disciplines pursue career paths aligned with their interests in academia, policymaking, politics, media, the corporate sector, the development sector, government, and international organizations. Each year, approximately 95% of MGSHSS graduates secure employment within 6 to 9 months of graduation. Placement data from the past five years indicates that their initial roles have been in functional areas such as research, data analysis, management, marketing, sales, finance, and human resources, supply chain, and public relations across a wide range of sectors, including corporate, finance and banking, development, education, marketing and media, MNC, ed-Tech, and consultancy.

Overview
Overview
The BSc (Honours) Educational Psychology degree is the Syed Ahsan Ali and Syed Maratib Ali School of Education's first undergraduate major. It brings together the science of the mind and the practice of education. Students ask how people think, develop and learn, and how learning can be designed, assessed and supported in schools and beyond.
Students build a full foundation in psychology alongside focused study of education: human development, motivation, learning, curriculum, teaching and assessment. They also train in quantitative and qualitative research methods. Field placements and supervised research projects let them test what they learn in real educational settings.
This combination keeps pathways to graduate study open across the branches of psychology, while preparing students specifically to work with learners. Dedicated coursework in inclusion, mental health and wellbeing equips graduates to support learners of every background and ability. It also prepares them to help build classrooms where every student feels they belong.
Graduates can pursue careers in teaching, school mental health and wellbeing, research, policy and EdTech. They can also go on to further study in educational, clinical, counselling, or child and adolescent psychology, or in education.

Research Methods and Statistics
Child and Adolescent Development

The vibrant intellectual environment at MGSHSS has nurtured leaders, thinkers, writers, and innovators.
