Work is changing fast and organizations grapple with the challenge of how to attract and retain skilled employees, design hybrid work arrangements, or boost collaboration between humans and AI.

Work, Organizational and Personnel (WOP) Psychologists focus on understanding human behaviour in the workplace and applying these insights to improve the well-being and performance of organizations and their employees.

Our programme will encourage you to seek answers to questions such as: How can we create healthy workplaces where employees thrive, flourish and perform? How can we prevent destructive leadership and create inclusive workplaces where employees feel safe? How can we stimulate innovation? How can people best manage their career and maintain well-being and productivity as they grow older?

Central to our programme is a clear link between theory and practice: you will gain cutting-edge theoretical knowledge as well as the practical skills needed in your future career. Through the unique combination of specialized theoretical and skills-oriented coursework, you will learn how to translate theoretical knowledge into evidence-based practical solutions that can be implemented in the workplace. With the coaching skills course, you have the opportunity to get a coaching certificate, which can be a springboard to a career in coaching, counseling, or personnel development.
