Business Psychology

Take an in depth look at the fascinating world of business psychology with this undergraduate programme. Focusing on real life situations you will gain an understanding of the psychological behaviours of people in business or organisation contexts.

This course will allow you to immerse yourself in a variety of unique and interesting topics including psychological development through the lifespan, leadership and managing teams, as well as individual differences, emotions and behaviours.

You will learn to apply knowledge of the human mind and behaviour to investigate fundamental business functions, as well as adopting core psychological theories to understand organisational change, effective leadership, recruitment and selection, and corporate decision-making.

The fascinating range of topics you will explore include:

• the study of the social factors that impact on individual's lives
• explaining why people differ from one another
• how organisations are built and how they behave as a result
• relationships among an organisation's culture, its leadership, and its employees
• the dynamic roles of management in the area of human resources

Finally, you'll be able to build on your research skills acquired during the programme through your final project on a business psychology topic that is of personal interest to you.

Entry requirements for undergraduate study

There are two different entry routes onto our undergraduate degrees: the academic entry route, and the work experience entry route.

The academic route is probably the best-known option, as it’s similar to the entry requirements for a brick-and-mortar university. You need at least two A-levels (or equivalent), with no specification of what subject or grade they should be.

The work experience route opens up the world of higher education to those without A-levels. You need GCSE Maths and English (grade A-C), plus three years’ work experience that is relevant to the field you wish to study.

What if you don’t meet these requirements but you’re still keen to study? That’s where our CertHE comes in! These courses have an open entry route, which means you don’t need any previous academic qualifications to start studying. This is a great route for those without a traditional academic background to progress onto the Bachelors degree.
