Beaconhouse National University Speciality : Psychology
programme: Applied Psychology

BNU has, in my opinion, the most aesthetically designed and well-built campus. With a 1:1 ratio cricket pitch, a football court, multi-story cafeteria building, and many academic blocks, the campus brings together all these elements into one unified institution.

I did my undergrad in Applied Psychology, the program itself was a holistic approach to psychology in general. With theory there were placements and opportunities to go to hospitals and asylums to build cases and provide our own opinion to what the diagnosis will be. The only thing I did not like was the fact that our department did not have a separate building otherwise the whole experience throughout my four years were very nice. The student life is extremely fun and there’s no peer pressure of any sort anywhere. Everybody is accepting of everybody’s identities. In my opinion international students can come and easily gel in with the students and the teachers. BNU helps you find jobs by having job fairs and continuously introducing their students to new opportunities through events and emails even long after they’ve graduated.

The university is overall satisfactory but there is an issue of relative grading experienced by almost all students which causes added stress and anxiety to students. Other aspects of the university are pretty good and I would recommend people to join the university. However, being from the Psychology department, there are some students’ concerns regarding grading and assistance which need to be addressed properly.
