Course Structure

The MSc in Management Psychology is delivered on a full-time basis over one year or part-time over two years. It has two starting points in the year, which means that you can join the course in September or January.
The course comprises 180 credits, split across 120 credits worth of core and optional taught modules. The remaining 60 credits are shared between the Organisational Case Study and Extended Essay.

A variety of teaching methods are used on this course to facilitate learning. These include lectures, seminars, workshops and self-managed learning groups. Assessment is also undertaken by a variety of means, including examinations, essays, dissertations and field-based project work. On some occasions, students might be asked to make individual or group-based presentations in seminars and workshops. Although not formally assessed, these presentations are an essential opportunity for students to demonstrate knowledge of the topic and important transferable skills, e.g. presentation skills.

Part-time students on this course are taught alongside full-time students and the choice of modules (and therefore the timetable) is flexible and a matter for agreement between student and course director. In all cases, part-time students can access a wide range of teaching and learning facilities remotely via the student portal.

We also offer a Postgraduate Diploma in Management Psychology, which mirrors the taught component of the MSc but does not include the Organisational Case Study.
