About this course

Psychology and Behavioural Science with Ucanly, Level 2 Intermediate, takes you from student to behavioural researcher. This is an educational program in psychology and applied behavioural science. It is not clinical training and it does not qualify anyone to diagnose, counsel, or treat any person. In India, clinical psychology practice requires RCI recognised qualification and registration, and counselling and therapy require appropriate professional training. Nothing in this course is mental health advice, and if you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a qualified mental health professional. Built for practitioners who have completed the Beginner level or have working knowledge of psychological principles, cognitive biases, research ethics, and basic study design, this program goes deep into experimental, quasi experimental, and correlational research design, statistics without fear, and reliability and validity in measurement. In your minor project in week six, you will run a complete preregistered experimental study, with a hypothesis, a controlled design, real collected data, inferential statistical analysis, and an APA style report reaching honest conclusions. You will then learn qualitative research methods including depth interviews and thematic analysis, and applied behavioural science across UX research, consumer insight, people analytics, and public policy. You will graduate having delivered a full mixed methods behavioural research engagement in your week ten major project, on a real world problem, combining qualitative depth and quantitative evidence, a validated measurement approach, an evidence based intervention design with an evaluation plan, and a live defense to Ucanly mentors.
