DCU Business School is to launch a new two-year part-time Masters degree in Organisational Behaviour, which will be delivered in parallel with its long-running M.Sc in Work and Organisational Psychology programme.

The first intake of students will be in September 2009 and applications are now being accepted.

The new M.Sc. in Work and Organisational Behaviour (MWOB) programme is designed for graduates who do not have the required psychology qualification for entry to the University's popular M.Sc. in Work and Organisational Psychology.

Students on the Organisational Behaviour stream are taught alongside and receive almost all of the same modules as the Organisational Psychology students.

Participants on both streams are equipped with the knowledge, experience and professional expertise necessary to make a distinctive and valuable contribution to organisational planning, development and change.

The M.Sc. in Work and Organisational Psychology (MWOP) at DCU Business School is the longest running specialised programme delivering organisational psychology education in Ireland. Graduates of the programme have gone on to further the field of organisational psychology in the workplace, and thereby facilitate a broad range of organisations to reach optimal effectiveness. The programme provides qualified psychologists with academic training and development which contributes significantly to the process of seeking registered organisational psychologist status, if desired.

• The psychology of work and organisational life


• Employee selection, motivation and development


• Contrasting approaches to performance and well-being


• Leadership


• Managing organisational change and development


• Organisational diagnosis and consulting

Candidates for the M.Sc. in Work and Organisational Behaviour (DC957) should have an honours degree in a business-, social sciences- or organisation-related discipline (at Upper Second Class Honours level, or above).

Graduates are likely to be involved in the following work fields:
