Course summary
The University of Liverpool Management School is one of an elite group of institutions worldwide to hold the gold standard 'triple-crown' accreditation from AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. Designed and delivered by leading academics and experts in their field, the new MSc Organisational Psychology pathway within the established MSc Occupational and Organisational Psychology programme, is now open for application for students without a BPS accredited Psychology bachelor’s degree. The pathway focuses on developing a new generation of practitioners in occupational psychology who can make a positive difference to effectiveness and well-being of people and organisations. Programme Overview Teaching draws upon the latest evidence and cutting-edge research to cover all major aspects of organisational psychology, enabling students to develop a critical understanding of how research into human behaviour at work can be applied to enhance the effectiveness of people and organisations at work. Core areas include: leadership, motivation and engagement; well-being at work; work design, organisational change and development; psychological assessment at work; and learning, training and development. Students also undertake a supervised empirical research project, building their knowledge of research methods in psychology and developing skills in the conduct of research in organisational contexts. In doing so, the MSc Organisational Psychology equips students with the knowledge base and practical skills necessary for a career in occupational psychology. It also provides a strong foundation for those who would consider progressing to a Doctor of Philosophy programme.
