Study Details: 12 months full-time
You'll develop knowledge in psychology and build analytical skills which can be applied in a range of careers, including occupational psychology, management, human resource management, recruitment, health and safety, engineering, the public sector, training and development, organisational change and development consultancy, and policy research.
The course is designed for those with an undergraduate degree in psychology or those from other backgrounds who wish to specialise in applying psychology to work and employment.
Our teaching team draws from academics who are chartered psychologists, practitioners with industry experience, and expertise from a range of disciplines across the University of Strathclyde. Strathclyde Business School is home to many staff focused on the application of psychology to work and organisations, and has extensive collaborations with industry, policymakers and practitioners.
Minimum second-class honours degree or overseas equivalent (see international entry requirements) in psychology (including from a non-accredited university), or business, management, or other social science subject. Applicants with a lower degree and with demonstrable work experience will be considered on an individual basis.
Applicants with a degree from a non-UK university or from a non-accredited UK programme should review the guidance from the BPS to see if they are eligible to pursue the Chartership route. Evidence of graduate membership should be included as part of the application.
The MSc Work & Organisational Psychology will provide employment opportunities broadly in management, human resource management, recruitment, health and safety, engineering, training and development, organisational change and development consultancy, and policy research.
This programme provides a route to a career in the ‘people’ profession: even if you did not take steps towards becoming Chartered through the BPS, you’d still be gaining the same knowledge and skills. It would just mean you would not be following a route to become a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, but could still be called a Work & Organisational Psychologist (for example).
As a professional qualification, the degree offers a range of opportunities to work in academia, as an independent consultant, or in a practitioner or policy advisory role across public, private and third sector organisations.
