One of the first departments to be founded in Christ University, the Department of Psychology has grown in leaps and bounds with innovations in curriculum, pedagogy and ground-breaking initiatives spread across different campuses. The Department at Bangalore Yeshwanthpur campus runs a range of programmes that include Undergraduate programmes and Post Graduate programmes. Through these programmes, we encourage students to consider careers and life missions that integrate psychological understanding to life. Our programmes integrate scholarship with professional practice and we offer courses that are cutting edge in the field of psychology. Students who complete programmes in Psychology from the University demonstrate high degrees of self-awareness, are service-oriented and are encouraged to embrace humane values in their vocation.

The Vision of the Department of Psychology is to promote high academic standards and scholarship in psychology, by creating an optimal and enriching learning environment, fostering ongoing professional and personal development and contributing effectively to societal needs.

BA Psychology and Economics is a new undergraduate dual major programme launching from 2022, created in alignment with New Education Policy (NEP) by combining core aspects of Psychology and Economics. These two interlinked disciplines have their own exclusive areas of expertise with conceptual and methodological specializations which helps the student to have a clear understanding with regard to their possibilities. This program optimizes the advantages of the two allied disciplines of Psychology and Economics, theoretically and it offers to the students an opportunity to understand social phenomena holistically.  Special attention is given in its design to develop critical thinking and creative faculties of the students and thereby promote responsible citizenship.
