The International Collaborations (IC) office at Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences (JIBS) works in close partnership with the Office of International Affairs and Global Initiatives (IAGI) at O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) to provide a diverse array of study abroad opportunities for our Master’s students.
Among the various opportunities offered, students can participate in dual degree programmes, which allow them to earn degrees from both JGU and a partnering international institution. Semester exchange programmes enable students to spend a semester at a partner university, immersing themselves in a different academic and cultural environment.
JIBS also provides students with the chance to attend short-term summer and winter schools at partner universities. These programs are designed to offer intensive courses, workshops, and cultural experiences that broaden students’ academic horizons and global understanding within a short timeframe.
MAAP student, dual degree Master’s programme at King’s College London
Embarking on my journey at King’s College London through the dual degree program with the Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences was a remarkable experience. As a participant in the Master of Science program in Mental Health Studies, I gained invaluable hands-on expertise in authentic, real-world environments. The clinical volunteering opportunities provided by South London & Maudsley (SLaM) and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts, along with the Theory into Practice (TiP) Modules, greatly enriched my learning experience.

My time at Nottingham Trent University, UK, offered a perfect blend of rigorous academics and vibrant student life. From exploring Nottingham’s charm to immersing in cutting-edge Forensic Mental Health courses, I absorbed knowledge, culture, and engaged in thought-provoking discussions. The Master of Science program in Mental Health Studies, facilitated by clinical volunteering opportunities at South London & Maudsley (SLaM) and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts, along with the Theory into Practice (TiP) Modules, was a truly enriching experience.

“Pursuing the dual degree offered by JGU and the University of Essex allowed me to delve deeper into the vast field of psychodynamics, perfectly complementing my existing master’s degree in I/O psychology. This program provided me with a comprehensive understanding and the opportunity to engage in advanced research and practical applications in the field.
