Your future in psychology begins here
The BS Clinical Psychology at Shakoor Mind Care Institute is a four-year Punjab University degree delivered with supervised training inside a working psychiatric hospital in Bahawalpur. Study the science of the mind, then train where real clinical work happens — the only such provider in South Punjab.
WHY SMCI
Most psychology degrees in the region remain confined to theory. A graduate can name the disorders but has never sat within a real clinical environment. SMCI is built on the opposite premise.
Concepts memorised for examinations, with no exposure to how psychology is practised.
Students graduate having never observed assessment, diagnosis or treatment in a real setting.
A degree on paper, but no supervised exposure and no clear route to practising or progressing.
A full BS curriculum covering developmental, cognitive, clinical and research foundations.
Observe and learn within a working 25-bed psychiatric hospital seeing 100 or more patients daily, under expert supervision.
Supervised exposure from the early years, plus a clear path toward postgraduate study and practising as a clinical psychologist.
INSIDE THE DEGREE
Foundations first, deepening each year toward clinical understanding and supervised hospital exposure.
Introduction to psychology, research methods, the biological basis of behaviour, and developmental psychology.
Cognitive psychology, social psychology, personality, and statistics for psychology.
Abnormal psychology, psychological assessment, counselling approaches, and introduction to the clinical setting.
Clinical psychology, therapeutic approaches, supervised hospital exposure, and final research project.
Curriculum follows the Punjab University BS Clinical Psychology scheme of studies. Detailed course outline available on request.
