Course content

Are you interested in the complexity of human behaviour? Would you like to contribute to people's wellbeing and processes of change in our society? If so, Master's programme in Psychology: Work, Organisation and Health might be the right choice for you!

What will you learn?

The study programme focusses on both theory and practice and will train you to become a practice-based researcher. You study scientific theory to become a behavioural expert and learn how to implement your knowledge by developing and testing behaviour change interventions in practice. Your graduation assignment is a research project, consisting of an internship and thesis in a domain of your choice. The programme has a clear and singular goal: for you to become a scientific expert of behaviour change in all its forms.

Something for you?

· You can choose to focus on occupational and health psychology, personnel psychology or organisational psychology.

· You will acquire advisory, communication and coaching skills and learn how to apply theory to practice.

· You will work closely with fellow students and lecturers in our small and interactive classes.

· You will gain hands-on experience during your 5-month internship and thesis project, so you're well prepared for your career.

· You will be able to make a difference for organisations, teams, employees and their development, skills and health.

Future career opportunities

You will be able to focus on a job in both the profit sector (in commercial companies and agencies) and the non-profit sector (government organisations, educational institutions and the healthcare sector). Most graduates end up working in positions that deal with advising, counseling employees or developing training programmes.
