BPsych at Samriddhi College, Lokanthali Bhaktapur (Tribhuvan University affiliation), gives you a clear pathway into psychology in Nepal.

You study human behavior, cognition, and support skills that apply in schools, NGOs, rehabilitation centers, and workplaces. We structure learning across eight semesters with classroom study, guided practice, and field touchpoints. 

You build confidence through short assignments, supervised observations, and simple research tasks that match TU expectations.

Curriculum Details

You begin with General Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Social Psychology. We then add Counseling Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Research Methods, and Psychological Testing. Practical work includes intake-note writing, interview simulations, observation logs, and basic test orientation under faculty oversight.

You learn ethics, confidentiality, referral steps, and record-keeping used by schools and community programs in Nepal. Short research assignments help you plan questionnaires, collect data, and present findings with simple charts.

• Guide you to recognize common psychosocial issues and choose safe referral steps

• Build your interviewing, note-taking, and group facilitation skills under supervision

• Strengthen your ability to read summaries of research and extract what matters

• Improve how you communicate results to teachers, parents, and agency staff

Scope

You enter support roles in school counseling units, youth programs, rehabilitation services, NGOs, and HR teams. We prepare you for entry tasks such as psycho-education sessions, case documentation, and data support. Clinical or advanced counseling practice requires postgraduate study; we advise you early so you can plan the next step.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, you can:

• Explain cognitive, behavioral, and social perspectives with local examples

• Prepare intake and progress notes that respect ethics and privacy

• Administer basic screening tools under guidance and state limits clearly

• Plan and deliver short psycho-education activities for schools or youth groups

• Collect, enter, and summarize small data sets in Excel or SPSS basics

Skill Development Modules

• Group facilitation and psycho-education planning with age-appropriate materials

• Psychological test orientation, form handling, and secure storage of records

• Report writing, poster briefs, and concise slide decks for review meetings

• Statistics fundamentals: frequency tables, charts, averages, and simple correlations

• Literature scans and citation basics to support assignments and proposals

Teaching Methodology

We combine short lectures, case vignettes, role-plays, and guided practice. You keep reflection logs after visits to schools or partner organizations so learning connects to real work. Faculty and supervisors give written feedback on ethics, documentation quality, and interaction style. Guest sessions introduce common procedures used by Nepali agencies, including referral notes, safeguarding steps, and multi-disciplinary meetings.

Admission Requirements

• Qualification: +2/Intermediate/PCL or equivalent from a recognized board with at least 45% and D+ in all subjects

• Stream: open to Science, Management, Humanities, or Education backgrounds

Career Opportunities

You start as School Support Assistant, NGO Program Assistant, Rehabilitation Support Worker, HR Assistant, Research Assistant, or outreach staff in community projects.

A common early assignment asks you to run classroom awareness sessions, keep records, follow up on referrals, and prepare one-page summaries for supervisors. Growth depends on supervised practice, short skills courses, and a relevant Master’s degree for specialized roles.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

We offer merit-linked support in the first year as per college policy; continuation follows academic performance. Government or need-based options may apply under rules and available seats.

You remain responsible for TU registration and examination fees, the college’s internal examination fee per term, TU service charges, and costs related to field visits or placements.
