Why study the Master of Organisational Psychology?
This program prepares students for organisational psychology practice, focusing on building skills such as critical analysis, problem solving, communication, consultation and organisational change skills. Organisational psychology seeks knowledge of behaviour in organisational settings by systematically studying individual, group and organisational processes. Organisational psychology employs a 'scientist-practitioner' method of enquiry, first to seek understanding of behaviour within employment contexts, and then to develop techniques and skills which foster employee well-being and organisational effectiveness.
What you can study
The program combines theory, research and practice to develop students' professional skills within a broad range of strategic and functional areas, including job analysis and design, personnel selection and assessment, training and development, work design, leadership, and organisational development and change.
