M.A. (Psychology) Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026
This is the M.A. (Psychology) syllabus under NEP 2020, the two-year degree. Semesters I and II are from the University of Mumbai syllabus approved by the Academic Council on 7 July 2023 (item 5.5 (N)), in force from 2023-24. Semesters III and IV are from the Board's own Semester III and IV syllabus approved on 12 July 2024 (item 5.7 (N)), in force from 2024-25. The 2023 document's credit table shows an earlier plan for Semesters III and IV; the 2024 syllabus is the one the University examines, and its Winter 2026 timetables name these papers.
The University examines this degree one semester at a time, so the subjects sit directly under each semester. Each semester page lists its mandatory courses and its electives under the University's own headings.
