Master of Science - Business Psychology - Human Resource Management

This specialist MSc blends Human Resource Management with Business Psychology, a discipline also known as Occupational Psychology and Organisational Psychology, which equips students with a depth of understanding around the psychological mechanisms that drive positive behaviours and performances in the workplace.

By viewing the workplace through a psychological perspective, and by developing analytical, critical thinking, and reflection skills, students will learn to recognize and improve seemingly intangible aspects of the workplace which, when appropriately managed, can directly improve performance, in areas such as: • Job satisfaction • Well-being • Leadership • Organisational commitment • Organisational culture • Performance and productivity

This is why Heriot-Watt has created this specialist programme which blends its world-class teaching in Business Psychology with expertise in Human Resource Management to create a specialist programme that develops a range of skills which are highly-desirable to employers.
