You'll develop knowledge in psychology and build analytical skills which can be applied in a range of careers, including occupational psychology, management, human resource management, recruitment, health and safety, engineering, the public sector, training and development, organisational change and development consultancy, and policy research.
The course is designed for those with an undergraduate degree in psychology or those from other backgrounds who wish to specialise in applying psychology to work and employment.
Our teaching team draws from academics who are chartered psychologists, practitioners with industry experience, and expertise from a range of disciplines across the University of Strathclyde. Strathclyde Business School is home to many staff focused on the application of psychology to work and organisations, and has extensive collaborations with industry, policymakers and practitioners.
Minimum second-class honours degree or overseas equivalent (see international entry requirements) psychology. Applicants with a lower degree and with demonstrable work experience will be considered on an individual basis.
The programme will provide employment opportunities broadly in management, human resource management, recruitment, health and safety, engineering, public sector management (e.g. NHS), training and development, organisational change and development consultancy, and policy research.
As a professional qualification for those eligible for chartership in occupational psychology, the degree offers a range of opportunities to work in academia, as an independent consultant, or in a practitioner or policy advisory role across public, private and third sector organisations.
The degree also provides a pathway to a doctoral degree in psychology, human resource management, organisation studies, work/employment studies, management and other aligned social science and business and management subjects, especially given its emphasis on building graduates' advanced analytical data skills.
