Occupational and Business Psychology MSc

This course is ideal if you want to apply the science of psychology to people at work, with roles including in-house and external consultancy, HR, organisational development, public sector and research.

You will learn how to successfully drive sustainable change at work through rigorous science, data, technology, and experiential projects.

You will use psychological methods and specialist software. Additional short courses cover psychometric testing, for a fraction of the private market cost.

• Course materials grounded in research and practice, delivered by a course team currently working and conducting sector-leading research in the field.
• Theoretical and practical understanding that enables you to become an 'evidence-based practitioner' and demonstrate the skills demanded by employers.
• A supportive and pleasant study environment and an expert academic team to help you achieve your academic goals.

After you graduate

This course will equip you for a range of career opportunities in organisations where psychology can and should be applied for positive impact:

• In developmental and strategic roles (e.g. people strategist, people and culture partner, developmental advisor, R&D, employee insight).
• In leadership and management roles, or in any role where psychology can be utilised to positively impact the workplace and implement a change for the better, where the change can be from improving people's working life, to making better selection and career choices for business sustainability, to creating a safer and healthier working environment, to leading the change and being an initiator of change.
• In more traditional roles (private/independent practice, consultancies, civil service, human resources, test publishing and research bodies)

Graduates can also choose to continue working towards a professional qualification in psychology, possibly becoming Chartered and Registered Occupational Psychologists following further training.
