What is the future scope of M.Sc in applied psychology?

Aspirants who have successfully completed their training in psychology can make their mark in the following lucrative branches of psychology. Clinical Psychology Clinical psychologists assess and treat people with psychological problems. They may act as therapists for people who are experiencing normal psychological crises or for individuals suffering from chronic psychiatric disorders. Counseling Psychology Counselling psychologists do many of the same things that clinical psychologists do. However, counselling psychologists tend to focus more on persons with adjustment problems rather than on persons suffering from severe psychological disorders. Health Psychology Health psychologists are concerned with psychology's contributions to the promotion and maintenance of good health and the prevention and treatment of illness. They may design and conduct programs to help individuals stop smoking, lose weight, and stay physically fit. Teaching and Research If you're interested in teaching undergraduate, master's level, or doctoral-level students, you will probably work in a university setting, where you will probably also do research Industrial/Organisational Psychology I/O psychologists (as they are usually called) are concerned with the relationships between people and their work environments. They may develop new ways to increase workplace productivity or be involved in personnel selection. Sports Psychology Sports psychologists are concerned with the psychological factors that improve athletic performance. They also look at the effects of exercise and physical activity on psychological adjustment and health. Sports psychologists typically work in academic settings and/or as consultants for sports teams. Agency/Community Counselling Graduate programs in agency or community counselling train you to do counselling in human service agencies in the local community--for example, in community mental health centres. They may also train you to administer a limited number of psychological tests (vocational interest tests, for example). Educational Psychology Educational psychologists attempt to understand the basic aspects of human learning and to develop materials and strategies for enhancing the learning process School Counselling School counsellors work with children who are troubled, helping such children function more effectively with their peers and teachers, deal with family problems, etc. They work at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
