Psychological Counselling Center
This center is currently located at the Medical Centre of the University, mainly to provide the service of a professional psychological counselor to students who find difficulties in continuing their education due to various psycho-social issues. The objectives of the psychological counseling center are:
-
To provide students a confidential environment to meet a counselor and to express and receive immediate guidance for their psycho-social issues.
-
To identify the psycho-social issues confronted by students and to provide necessary guidance for their behavior modifications.
-
To direct students whenever necessary for psychiatric consultation and treatments.
Psychological counselling center was established initially at the Department of Sociology in March 2008 under the IRQUE project to assist students. However, to meet the increasing demand for this service from each faculty of the university, this center was re-established at the university medical center. Students can obtain psychological counseling service from 1.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. in every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This service is delivered in a confidential room to protect the privacy of affected students and to conduct counseling sessions without any disturbances. Presently, the psychological counselling center is administering by the Students Affairs Branch of the University.
