Gain expertise in the field of Occupational Psychology through our MSc programme, where you will learn how to effectively apply psychological theories and principles to enhance employee satisfaction, well-being, performance, and productivity within the work environment. As a consultant or member of staff, you can utilise these valuable skills to make a positive impact on businesses.
Immerse yourself in hands-on workshops that foster the development of key psychology skills, including coaching, feedback provision, delivering presentations, utilising statistical software, group work, and information management. Additionally, you will receive complimentary training to become a certified psychometric assessor for both ability and personality tests.
During the course, you will have the opportunity to undertake a dissertation focused on your own interests within organisations, honing your communication, negotiation, and project management abilities. Recent dissertations have explored topics such as evaluating the effectiveness of selection processes in large organisations, examining the impact of remote working on efficiency and well-being, and analysing the effects of workplace training interventions.
Alternatively, you can engage in a practical project sourced through the Institute of Work Psychology's business network or the Management School's Employability Hub, addressing practical organisational challenges. The dissertation project allows you to apply your knowledge in practice and further develop essential organisational skills.
