Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your daughter is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) Psychology after which she intends pursuing Master of Philosophy (M. Phil.). To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that your daughter’s plan of studying a B.A. in Psychology Honours from Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University, and then subsequently pursuing an M.Phil from NIMHANS, Bangalore, appears to be a sound one, especially if she aspires to be a clinical psychologist. You would be glad to know that both, Lady Shri Ram College and NIMHANS are prominent institutions well-known for offering high-quality psychology education.

When deciding whether to pursue a further psychology degree overseas or in India, I would like to tell you that both options have their merits and disadvantages.

Remember that students studying overseas gain exposure to a broad range of viewpoints, cultural backgrounds, and possibly state-of-the-art research facilities and techniques. Moreover, one’s horizons can be expanded and he/she can be offered significant global experience, which can prove beneficial in an interconnected world.

On the other hand, India also houses a number of prestigious universities, viz., NIMHANS, which are highly recognized for their proficiency in and contributions to the psychological domain. Remember that studying in India can provide students with knowledge of local surroundings, networks, and future job prospects in the nation’s healthcare and academic sectors.

Lastly, the decision should best resonate with your daughter’s personal as well as career objectives. If she intends working in India and participating in regional mental health initiatives, then I would like to tell you that pursuing a Master of Philosophy (M. Phil.) at NIMHANS could be a great option. On the other hand, if your daughter is interested in learning about varied cultures and possibly working overseas, then studying overseas might be a better option.

I would recommend that your daughter conducts a comprehensive study on both options, taking into account variables viz., her individual preferences, experience of the faculty members, possibilities for research, as well as the job opportunities. Not just that, in order to make an educated choice that best resonates with her ambitions, I would suggest that your daughter seeks counsel from industry professionals, instructors, and alumni.

Ans: Pursuing a Master's in Neurophysiotherapy abroad is an excellent option, especially if you aim for advanced clinical skills and research exposure. Countries like the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia are renowned for their physiotherapy programs, offering specialized courses in neuro and pediatric physiotherapy. These countries also provide opportunities for hands-on clinical training and a globally recognized degree, enhancing career prospects.

Ans: Hello,

First of all, thank you for contacting us. To answer your question, since your daughter is passionate about psychology, I would encourage you to consider her interest and support her in exploring her passion, as it will lead to a fulfilling career that aligns with her strengths and aspirations. Many top universities offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in psychology, ranging from clinical psychology to neuropsychology and counseling. Countries like the US, UK, and Canada have a wealth of opportunities with great programs.

However if she decides to pursue MBBS, she can specialize in fields like psychiatry, clinical psychology, neuropsychology, or even pursue research in cognitive neuroscience after her MBBS. But for now, pursuing her interest in psychology seems like a solid path as it is a rapidly growing field with increasing demand for mental health professionals all around the world!
