Course Description
Psychology has long been applied to the workplace, and has become one of the main professional practice areas for Occupational Psychologists, Business Psychologists, Personnel Managers, Human Resource Managers and most managers/supervisors of staff. Applications of the major theories and models of business/occupational psychology occur in the practices of, for example, personnel assessment, selection and training the design of work environments, implementation of training interventions, management of careers, motivation and development of staff and the management of organizational change. This innovative development at the University of Worcester presents two postgraduate qualifications that applies psychology to business and organisations in general.
