Psychology is best defined as the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes. It gives us the skills and knowledge to help ourselves and others.

The field of Psychology has become one of the most attractive and exciting career choices today. The recent increase in alcoholism, suicide rates and youth unease together with psychologi­cal disorders caused by war, tsunami and other natural disasters are clear indication­s of the urgency and the demand for more practical and handson psychology education in Sri Lanka. A degree in Psychology can lead to many rewarding careers in Health and Wellness, Industrial and Organizati­onal (IO), Marriage/Family Counseling, Medicine, Relief and Social Work, Human Resources, Non Government Organisati­ons ( NGO), Organisati­onal Developmen­t, Corporate Coaching, Marketing and Eco - Tourism.
