Ans: I usually believe students should pursue what they are interested in. I have seen a lot of students who are pushed by parents to pursue a field but end up not doing well in the field as they have someone to blame for their downfall. Psychology is a decent option. She can also look at option of MBA in HR or related fields.

Hi Sushil, my daughter is doing her Graduation in Psychology Hons and Research from Amity University Kolkata. She wishes to pursue higher education in Psychology for doing Masters and subsequent Doctorate abroad. Post completion of Master and Doctorate. Pls suggest for best options. Also should she settle abroad post studies or does India have better career options in Psychology in the near future? kindly suggest. Tanushyam Kanjilal
Ans: Hi Tanushyam,

Thank you for reaching out. It’s great to hear that your daughter is pursuing her graduation in Psychology and research at Amity University Kolkata.

Pursuing a Master’s and Doctorate from prestigious universities abroad, like UC Berkeley and King’s College London, would provide her with specialized courses in areas like clinical and corporate psychology, along with valuable research opportunities. These institutions also have a higher demand for psychologists, which can lead to faster career progression and global exposure.

While career options in India are growing, studying abroad can offer a broader range of opportunities. She should also consider attending international conferences to build networks and explore internships.

Ultimately, the decision depends on her career goals, preferred work environment, and the opportunities available to her after completing her studies.

I wish her all the best in her academic journey!
