With an innovative curriculum rooted in theoretical knowledge and practical exposure, the department began its journey offering a 3-year undergraduate course. It has since evolved to exclusively offer the 4-year Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree program, affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam. The department aims to provide students with high academic standards in psychology by ensuring an optimal learning environment and utilizing pedagogy that fosters the essential qualities of a mental health professional. This is achieved through seminars, experiential learning, laboratory training, conferences, workshops, field studies, film-based discussions, and interactions with industry experts. This extended Honours framework allows for a deeper emphasis on rigorous research exposure, equipping students with essential skills in study design, and independent scientific inquiry. Ultimately, the department's vision is not only to shape ethical, qualified mental health professionals but also to raise societal awareness about mental health and its related challenges.
Committed to impart quality education, strengthen research programs, update skills and instill values, and ethics among students.
Encourage holistic development of students to contribute to public understanding of psychology and it's application, and to enhance research activities in the departments.

Differentiated Instruction allows teachers to adjust lessons to the range of skill level present in a class, while also supporting progress. Teachers observe students and use formative assessment methods in order to make sure class experiences can be adjusted to individual skill and ability levels as appropriate.
Project-Based Learning experiences allow students to engage in learning about a topic over a period of time, and may help the development of deep understanding.
Inquiry-Based Learning emphasizes the importance of effective questioning and thinking skills in the learning process.
Flipped Classrooms invert the traditional teaching model. In flipped classrooms students are assigned pre-learning before class, so that classroom time can be given over to problem-solving, one-to-one feedback and student collaboration.
Cooperative Learning encourages structuring classes into groups to foster communication and working together in smaller units.
Peer Teaching It is a method of teaching, where a student instructs another student, wherein the former will be an expert and the latter a novice.
