What is the scope of having a Masters in clinical psychology and an advanced Diploma in counselling psychology in India?

Psychology students at IILM Gurugram get strong research exposure woven into their coursework, internships, and specialised activities.​

In-built research in the curriculum

• From early semesters, students are trained in research methodology, statistics and psychological testing, and they learn how to design, conduct and interpret psychological studies.​

• BA/BSc (Hons) and MA/MSc Psychology programmes include lab work, practicums, fieldwork, surveys and small research projects as credit-bearing components, so research is part of regular academics, not an add-on.​

Projects, internships and centres

• Students work on applied research-driven assignments, internships and field visits in settings like hospitals, NGOs, schools, organisations and wellness centres, which helps them link theory with real-life behaviour and mental health issues.​

• Dedicated initiatives like the School of Psychology and the Centre for Emotional Intelligence support research and wellbeing projects, giving students opportunities to assist faculty, contribute to studies and build strong research-oriented profiles.

Hi...

Yes — internships are possible for BA Psychology students

Psychology internships allow undergraduates to “apply theoretical knowledge to real-life situations” — in clinics, hospitals, wellness centers, research labs, schools, community-service centres, NGOs, etc.

Some mental-health / wellness centers explicitly offer internship/trainee-positions to BA or BSc psychology students. For example, Peace of Mind (India) offers “graduate internship (BA/BSc Psychology or Clinical Psychology)” which includes patient-center workflow, admin support, content-creation, and “live-project” work.

Similarly, Inspiron Psychological Well‑Being Centre offers internship programs to students enrolled in bachelor or master psychology courses; they provide both online and offline internship/training options, including exposure to therapeutic approaches, case discussions, assessments, and counselling-skills training. 

On the “organisational/industrial-psychology” side, there are internship-type programmes focusing on employee behaviour, workplace psychology, HR, organisational development, etc. For example, Indian Counselling Services offers “Industrial and Organizational Psychology Internship” (with certificate/letter) aimed at those interested in organisational psychology.
