Keeping in view the importance of psychology in modern society, Dr. BRAOU has established the Department of Psychology in 2008 – 09.U. G and P. G programs were also launched in  2008 – 09 and 2009-10 respectively. At U G level, psychology is offered as one of the three group subjects. Further, the University has introduced credit based choice system (CBCS) at UG level in 2017-18. Accordingly, the course structure and syllabi were revised through the constitution of Subject Expert Committees. These programs aim at providing students with an understanding of various methods, theories, and conceptual models, principles that serve as a framework for understanding human behaviour and to help them enhance cognitive, affective and behavioural abilities. With regard to self learning material (SLM), the Department of Psychology has prepared its own material, both in English and Telugu for U.G courses. However, for P G courses, the university used, initially, Tamilnadu Open University material.  Later, the department developed its own material in English for M. Sc. Psychology courses in 2013-14.
