About this course

OVERVIEW

Interested in being an influencer in a major corporation? Or mentoring people to overcome challenging situations at work? Or perhaps you want to coach leaders of charities and public organisations?

Business psychology is an emerging topic in the working world. Performance, excellence, talent management, mental health – they’re not just buzzwords, they’re driving a new approach to doing business.

This unique course lets you combine your interests in human behaviour and business operations. You don’t need any psychology or business knowledge when you join us – just curiosity and a willingness to learn. We’ll go over everything from scratch, introducing you to the business environment, and helping you develop the academic and professional skills you’ll need to succeed.

A fresh course for an emerging field

Cognitive psychology. Social psychology. Decision making. Fairness at work. The course covers a huge range of topics across business and psychology.

Our focus is on preparing you for a career as a business psychologist. Unlike other programs that may be a collaboration between separate business and psychology departments, our curriculum is designed cohesively to provide specialized training directly from our team of experts. Learn from our experts and discover how you can fit into this exciting field.

Put your career first

We help you learn the practical skills you’ll need for the future. For example, in the psychology in practice module you’ll learn how to manage client relationships, identify problems and come up with solutions. It’s a great way to test the waters of a consultancy career.

In your final year you’ll design your own project around a challenge. Collect and analyse data and use your creativity to solve the issue – just like you would in the working world.
