Work and Organisational Psychology

Courses & curriculum 2022 - 2023

During the first semester, several courses and skills labs familiarise you with the field of work and organisational psychology and particularly the cognitive issues of the domain. The course on ‘Work Psychology’ presents individual and organisational outcomes of work behaviour and highlights job design, and health and safety issues. The ‘Human Resources’ course addresses problems related to employee recruitment, selection, and career development. The course ‘Organisation and Cognition’ focuses on strategy, leadership, Innovation, team cognition, negotiation, change management and cultural diversity. In the ‘Human Performance’ course the key question is ‘how do people process information during the performance of tasks’. In the second semester, you will continue to develop professional skills, complete a research project and write your master’s thesis. This programme adds up to 60 ECTS.
