Course Description

Take the next step in your career using psychology in the world of work. Join our British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited course to get your Stage 1 qualification in Occupational Psychology and by the end you should be ready to continue on to your Stage 2 training.

You’ll learn about how we motivate employees, how we train them, how we recruit, how we design jobs, how we assess performance, how we manage well-being, how we lead, how we manage organisational change, and more.

At Nottingham, you’ll be taught by research-active experts in the field, some of whom completed their own MScs at Nottingham. We make sure the course has a practical focus to improve your skills as a practitioner. That’s why you’ll learn about consultancy as part of your studies. You’ll also get a good grasp on research methods applicable to the workplace, something particularly valuable to future employers.

Entry Requirements

2:1 in Psychology

You will also need proof of holding Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) either from your University or the British Psychological Society (BPS). If you have not studied an accredited course you will need to take an accredited conversion programme or look at our other offerings.

If you have an undergraduate degree (2:1 or above) that does not give you the graduate basis for chartership (GBC), the MSc in Work and Organisational Psychology may be more suitable for you.

If you have an undergraduate degree in a discipline other than psychology, the MSc in Management Psychology may be more suitable.
