M.Sc (Neuro Psychology)

The MSc in Psychology (Neuropsychology) at S-VYASA (Deemed to be University) is an innovative, interdisciplinary postgraduate program that bridges the domains of neuroscience, psychology, and clinical practice. It is designed for students aiming to build careers in brain- behaviour research, neurocognitive diagnostics, and clinical intervention across neurological and psychiatric conditions.
Neuropsychology, as a field, seeks to understand the relationships between the brain and behavior—how injury, disease, or dysfunction affects cognition, emotion, and daily functioning. This program fosters a deep understanding of brain-behavior relationships, and how to assess, diagnose, and manage cognitive and behavioral disorders arising from neurological, psychiatric, or developmental conditions. With clinical training embedded in real-world psychiatric and neurological settings through our partnership with Cadabam’s Hospitals, students are mentored by leading clinicians, researchers, and expert faculties. This ensures that every graduate is not only well-versed in theory but also deeply grounded in hands-on clinical neuropsychological practice.
