Organisational psychology is a specialist niche within the wider field of psychology focusing on the study of human behaviour in the workplace. It is dedicated to the understanding of the way that businesses and other organisations ‘think’ as the sum of the behaviours and feelings of its employees and stakeholders. It applies psychological theories and principles to organisations to improve the well-being and performance of employees and the organisation as a whole.
There are over 50 organisational psychology courses available at postgraduate level in the UK, ranging in focus from social to organisational, occupational or business psychology.
Entry requirements will vary considerably in this subject. Some universities will ask for an undergraduate degree in any subject, others will ask for an undergraduate degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society.
Common topics covered in this area include motivation, selection and assessment, well-being, learning and development, organisational change, and leadership. It’s important to do some research into the exact modules covered in the courses you are interested in.
Graduates in this field go on to work on insightful research, at think tanks and charities, and in large organisations themselves, helping address issues like sexual harassment or increasing wellbeing and productivity.
