Organizational Psychology

What you will learn

As the world of work continues to change, we equip you to ask, and answer, questions about the impact of work on individuals, organisations and society. 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 learn about organisational research methods to prepare for carrying out your own project.

You will go on to examine learning, motivation, organisational change, leadership, selection and assessment, and wellbeing.

How you will learn

Teaching on the course is informed by cutting-edge research from the teaching team and from the field. The course is structured around flexibility, with recorded lectures and pre-set readings offering you choice about where and when you study and learn.
