Could you help me find out for sure? And, if i do have to do it, does it have to be related to psychology?
I would be ver obliged if you could ge back to me on this as soon as possible. :)
With regards,
Misbah Zahid,

To the best of my knowledge it should suffice. All the same please confirm with Sagarika.
