Mrs Deanne Aguiar, whose full name appears on her academic records as Aguiar Deanne Don Lorraine, holds a Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Mumbai. She pursued her postgraduate studies through the University Department of Applied Psychology, completing examinations in Psychology Group I and Psychology Group II in April 2012. The University conferred her degree at its convocation on 30 December 2012. Her postgraduate education in applied psychology provides an academic foundation for understanding human behaviour and considering how psychological knowledge can inform responses to everyday concerns. Applied psychology examines how people think, feel, and behave in the settings where they live, learn, work, and form relationships. It also considers how individual experiences and wider social circumstances shape behaviour. Her training places the study of these questions within a formal university programme, connecting the academic study of psychology with its relevance to individuals, relationships, and communities in everyday life.
