“Passion for peace, happiness and helping people in their life’s journey. These are the few of the many reasons that guided me to take up the Bachelor (Hons) Psychology at IMU. The psychology programme in IMU is a course that covers an overall spectrum of psychology,” said Archana in the statement.
She also said her experiences out of the classroom, such as being part of the IMU Student Ambassadors, IMU Eco Friends Club and Chariofare has been one of the most memorable times of her life.
Archana is looking forward to refine her skills and knowledge in psychology in ways that would benefit others.
