Course summary
Our Management Psychology MSc provides you with a strong understanding of how to use psychology in the workplace and the tools needed to effectively manage people. It's ideal for those who have not studied psychology before and does not presume any prior knowledge of research methods. You'll analyse the main areas of management psychology: learning, training and development; leadership engagement and motivation; organisational development and change; psychological assessment at work; work design and wellbeing at work; strategic human resource management and managing diversity. The course also has a strong practical focus and it aims to improve your skills as a practitioner. That's why you'll also learn about consultancy as part of your studies. You'll also get a good grasp on research methods applicable to the workplace, something that is particularly valuable to future employers. An advanced degree from Nottingham will see you graduate with the knowledge you need to take the next step in your career.
Modules
You'll study across a number of compulsory modules designed to provide you with a sound knowledge and understanding of core areas of management psychology along with the skills to apply that knowledge in a practical setting. Study takes place over three semesters, autumn, spring, and summer.
