Summary
Our highly respected MSc Organizational Psychology, accredited by the British Psychological Society, will develop your understanding of people and organisations within the context of both occupational psychology and organisational behaviour.
As the world of work continues to change, we equip you to ask, and answer, fundamental questions such as:
-
What does good leadership mean?
-
How do we support wellbeing at work?
-
Why do we do what we do at work?
You will begin by examining ideas about careers as the axis of the individual-organisation relationship, important at social and economic levels and relevant to you at any stage of your life. Simultaneously, you will be learning about a range of organisational research methods in preparation for carrying out your own research project. You will go on to cover learning, motivation, organisational change, leadership, selection and assessment, and wellbeing.
Teaching on the course is informed by cutting-edge research in the field, and you will be encouraged to engage in critical thinking and to reflect on theory and practice. You will also have the opportunity to learn from the professional experience of your peers and acquire applied research skills in preparation for an independent research project on a subject that interests you.
This course is very flexible in how you can study it. Whichever route you choose you will join a friendly, welcoming community of learners who are keen to work hard, share their professional experience with classmates and network and make contacts.
This course is part of our new Birkbeck Flexible Master’s UK, which gives you the choice of how you want to study - on campus, online or via flexible learning, which combines both.
