Master of Science - Occupational and Business Psychology (Professional Placement)

This course is ideal for those who want to apply the science of psychology to people at work, with roles including in-house and external consultancy, HR, organisational development, public sector and research. Students will learn through case studies, studying ethics, and how to successfully implement a programme in an organisation. They will use psychological tools and specialist software. Additional short courses cover psychometric testing at a fraction of the private market cost.

Course materials grounded in research and practice, delivered by a course team currently working in the field. Theoretical and practical understanding that enables students to become a 'reflective practitioner' and demonstrate the skills demanded by employers. A supportive and pleasant study environment and an expert academic team to help students achieve their academic goals.

Kingston Business School is one of just five per cent of the world's business schools with accreditation from AACSB International.

The professional placement year takes place after the full-time year. It allows students to do a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The work placement is an assessed part of the course and is therefore covered by a Student Route visa. This course will equip students to work in a diverse range of settings. Occupational and business psychologists often work in management training centres, assessment centres, organisational development departments and for private companies. Public sector organisations, such as the civil service and the health sector employ occupational and business psychologists.
