Program description
MSc Business Psychology helps graduates and industry professionals specialize in occupational psychology. Public and commercial organizations are rapidly recognizing the value of business psychology experts. This course will help you address those all-important industry skills gaps.
This specialized postgraduate course covers all of the key business psychology topics, giving you a solid grounding in research, theory, and practice as well as the in-demand capacity to enhance team, individual, and organizational business operations. You will have the chance to hone your skills in devising interventions to address current business concerns like enhancing employee performance and well-being and managing organizational transformation via the use of authentic evaluations.
Our Faculty of Psychology and Social Science academic staff members have a wealth of experience in the field, including multiple awards and publications, consultancy work with major organizations, and strong industry connections. You'll gain unique insights into both the academic and practitioner sides of business psychology. The course uses the latest case studies and real scenarios to give you the skills companies need now.
The British Psychological Society (BPS) is now validating the course, after which it will complete stage one of the two-step procedure to become a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, a legally protected title in the UK and a sign of expert knowledge and ability.
