COURSE DESCRIPTION
Be the driving force behind happier, healthier, more productive workplaces with the Master of Psychology (Organisational) – the only organisational psychology course delivered in Victoria. Gain extensive workplace experience through professional placements, and graduate ready to apply for registration as a general psychologist.
Want specialised psychology skills that are in high demand across almost every type of organisation?
Organisational psychologists have a unique opportunity to improve the lives of people, both inside and outside the workplace. With a deep understanding of human behaviour, relationships, leadership and change management, organisational psychologists have a key role to play in creating work environments that staff thrive in. The importance of organisational psychologists also extends beyond employee wellbeing. Their ability to improve individual and team performance, resolve conflicts using evidence-based principles, build team unity and create effective strategies for recruitment and retention makes them highly valued by employers.
Sound like a profession you’d love to be a part of? The Master of Psychology (Organisational) will give you the tools and training to transition into this rapidly growing field with confidence, so you can start making a positive difference from day one.
The course is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC), and is the final stop in your study journey to becoming a registered psychologist. Upon graduation, you will have the skills, experience and professional recognition needed to apply to the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) for general registration. The course also provides a pathway to further training in an area of practice endorsement with the PsyBA. An endorsement demonstrates a registered psychologist’s high-level knowledge and qualifications in a specialised area, like organisational psychology, and can open the door to more advanced roles.
Draw on everything you’ve learned so far in your studies while adding layers of specialised knowledge to become an expert in the field of organisational psychology. Some of the key areas you will study include:
psychological assessments in organisations
applied methods for organisational analysis
facilitation, training and evaluation in organisations
change management
occupational health and wellbeing
leadership coaching
intervention strategies and skills.
Career outcomes
Upon successfully completing the course, you will become eligible to apply for registration as a general psychologist. Once you’re registered, you will have the qualifications and experience needed to practise in all areas of organisational psychology, from workplace counselling and human resource management to psychological assessment and consultancy.
The added benefit of general registration is that it opens up many different career options outside of organisational psychology.
