It has a wide scope and its less competitive field. After studying psychology at postgraduate level you will have many options within public and private healthcare, education, mental health support, social work, therapy and counseling. These roles may be advisory, research-led, treatment-led or therapeutic.

There are also a number of less typical roles for psychology graduates, including jobs in media and other creative industries. Overviews of these typical and not-so-typical careers with a psychology degree are outlined below.
Psychology careers in healthcare and therapy
Chartered psychologist
Psychotherapist
Social worker
Counselor
A psychology degree may also provide a good basis for careers in IT, finance, the legal sector, government administration and market research.
The best colleges for psychology are:
The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences
Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan National Institute of Criminology & Forensic Science
Lovely Professional University Jalandhar ,
