Hello,

Since you have completed your BA in Criminology, and are now interested in pursuing Clinical Psychology at the postgraduate (PG) level, your eligibility will depend on the specific university or institution's criteria.

Most universities offering MA or MSc in Clinical Psychology require applicants to have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology or a related field with Psychology as one of the major subjects. Since Criminology is related, especially in terms of understanding human behavior and societal patterns, some universities may consider your application, particularly if you had Psychology papers or electives during your undergraduate course.

Check individual university eligibility criteria carefully—some may accept candidates from allied fields like Criminology, Sociology, or Social Work, especially if you can demonstrate a strong interest in psychology.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello there,

To pursue a postgraduate degree in Clinical Psychology, most universities have specific eligibility criteria. Here's what typically applies:

General Eligibility:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Psychology is usually required.

• Some universities may accept graduates from related fields (like Criminology, Sociology, or Social Work) but often prefer candidates with at least Psychology as one of the subjects in UG.
  
  In your case:

• Since you completed BA in Criminology , you may be eligible only in certain universities that allow related backgrounds.

• You might need to take a bridge course or qualify through an entrance exam/interview to prove your knowledge in psychology.
  
  Recommendation:

• Check the specific eligibility criteria of the university you’re applying to.

• Some institutions may accept your background, especially if you can demonstrate a strong interest and understanding of psychology.

If you are committed to Clinical Psychology and your current degree is not accepted directly, you could also consider:

• Pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology first.

• Enrolling in a BA or MA in Psychology through distance mode and then moving to Clinical Psychology at the PG level.

Always confirm directly with the university to avoid issues at the time of admission.
