Will there be any problem to pursue M.Sc psychology after BA psychology? Will the university permit me for the same?

I completed my BA in psychology and want to pursue M.Sc in psychology.

    Of course, there is. You're shifting from psychology to psychiatry and both of them are very different, as M.Sc. in psychology will need medical knowledge, which includes knowledge about prescribing medicines, perform electric therapy, and so on. However, BA in psychology is very different and basic. It includes no knowledge about medicines and scientific techniques. It only stresses on therapeutical training. I don't think it is very advisable for you to jump to M.Sc. in psychology. I think, you should rather pursue MA in psychology and then perhaps a Doctorate if you opt for clinical psychology.
