MSc MANAGEMENT PSYCHOLOGY

Offered By: The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus

Management Psychology uses psychological principles and theory to solve practical problems of business, organisations and management.

The MSc Management Psychology programme is designed around three critical management activities.
• Identifying and Selecting Competent Workers
• Developing and Motivating Effective Workers
• Managing Productive and Healthy Organisations

The three activities cover important aspects of individual management and their relationship with the management of organisations. All three are underpinned by evidence based applied psychology. As you work through the course modules, you will learn how psychology makes an impact in the three activities, and how it can help to improve them. You will also learn about the scientific foundations of psychology and how to use practical psychological theories and methods in organisations.
