Work, Organisation and Health

In this Master's specialisation you will learn to explain the behaviour of working people and to organise work processes in such a way that people can function optimally. We use work-, organisation -, and person-oriented interventions for this purpose. In this one-year master programme, knowledge and skills are provided using the scientist-practitioner model: you learn to base your own professional practice on current scientific insights and to develop a critical scientific attitude that will be of great value in the professional field. Experienced lecturers and professionals from the work field will contribute to all theoretical and practical courses. In addition to gaining theoretical understanding, you learn how to apply acquired knowledge to practical situations and to master the most important professional and research skills. You have a lot of input (and responsibility) into your own learning process.

This Master’s specialisation focuses on three specific (and interrelated) areas, which are clearly recognisable in the (inter)national professional field: occupational health psychology, personnel psychology (HRM) and organisational psychology.
