Master of Science - Work Psychology

Loughborough University's Master of Science in Work Psychology programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and is designed for those who hold a BPS-accredited undergraduate degree in Psychology. The programme is especially suited for students who wish to develop a career as an occupational psychologist. It is also suitable for those who want to apply their knowledge of psychology in personnel functions, human resource management roles or as business consultants in areas such as selection and assessment, organisational development and change and employee development.

Students will receive in-depth training by experienced researchers and practitioners to equip them to understand and evaluate a wide range of psychological theories that can be applied in organisational settings. This is integrated with practical training on how to apply relevant theory to influence important business decisions. Throughout this organisational psychology master’s there is a strong emphasis on developing critical thinking and consultancy skills as well as the ability to work effectively within a wide range of organisational stakeholders. Students will extend and cement their practical skills by completing a research project that allows them to apply their knowledge to an organisational issue.
