If you’re looking to develop your skills as a psychologist and work towards your chartership in the field of occupational psychology, this programme could be for you. This course is one pathway within the Industrial and Work Psychology programme. The MSc Occupational Psychology forms stage 1 of Chartership (subject to BPS membership requirements) and is suited to you if you have a psychology undergraduate degree. It is accredited by both the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Association for Business Psychology (ABP).
Across the programme, there’s a focus on evidence-based practice and developing reflexivity as practitioners. You’ll be equipped for a variety of careers including human resource practitioners, learning and development, or careers in consultancy and business psychology.
There is a range of modules common to both pathways, including Psychological Assessment at Work, Learning Training and Development, Culture Change and Leadership, Well-Being, Engagement and Motivation, Consulting Skills, and Mixed Methods Research. The MSc Occupational Psychology pathway also includes a performance management module, and you will have the opportunity to apply a reflexive practice approach to a work assignment.
