COURSE OVERVIEW

This Professional Doctorate in Occupational Psychology is an accredited University of London doctoral degree. It is accredited by the British Psychological Society as an alternative to the British Psychological Society's (BPS) Stage 2 Qualification in Occupational Psychology, meaning that successful completion of the programme confers eligibility for chartership through the BPS (subject to holding Graduate Basis for Registration).

If you hold a BPS-accredited master's degree in organisational/occupational and/or business psychology, and you are in related employment, this doctorate will let you apply your learning directly in the workplace and use your work experience to inform your research.

We have expertise in both qualitative and quantitative techniques and are well placed to supervise all research topics in occupational psychology. Our particular interests include:

Coaching, careers and lifespan development

Diversity and inclusion in the workplace

Decision making, heuristics and bias

Leadership and critical management studies

Organisational sociology

Professional development and training

Selection and assessment

Worklife balance, boundary management and digitisation of work

Well-being and occupational health.
