Industrial and Organisational Psychology – MSc/PgDip/PgCert

This course will be running in 2014/15.

Industrial and organisational psychology applies specialist psychological knowledge and skills to the workplace, with an emphasis on enhancing organisational effectiveness and employee wellbeing.

This course is ideal if you are a recent psychology graduate interested in applying your existing knowledge to the work environment. It is also beneficial if you come from a non-psychological background and want to enhance your understanding of work psychology, and develop your quantitative and qualitative research methods knowledge and skills.

The course has a focus on international business and industry, and considers the challanges of working in a global market. It has been designed to develop your knowledge of the core areas of industrial/organisational psychology. It also focuses on contemporary issues for modern organisations, such as improving innovation and creativity.

We aim to provide you with associated applied psychological research skills which are central to the effective evaluation of current and ongoing workplace practices.

During the course we work with you to ensure you are able to make links between the knowledge you develop and your area of employment or career aspirations.
