Business Psychology (Hons) Manchester Metropolitan University

Overview

Interested in being an influencer in a major corporation? Or mentoring people to overcome challenging situations at work? Or perhaps you want to coach leaders of charities and public organisations?

Business Psychology is an emerging topic in the working world. Performance, excellence, talent management, mental health – they’re not just buzzwords, they’re driving a new approach to doing business.

We’ll go over everything from scratch, introducing you to the business environment, and helping you develop the academic and professional skills you’ll need to succeed.

A fresh course for an emerging field

Cognitive psychology. Social psychology. Decision making. Fairness at work. The course covers a huge range of topics across business and psychology.

But despite the broad scope, you’ll find a very rounded approach to the subject. We’ve designed the curriculum to train you for work as a business psychologist – it’s not a joint business and psychology degree run by two different departments. Learn from our experts and discover how you can fit in to this exciting field.

Put your career first

We help you learn the practical skills you’ll need for the future. For example, in the Psychology in Practice module you’ll learn how to manage client relationships, identify problems and come up with solutions. It’s a great way to test the waters of a consultancy career.

In your final year of the Business Psychology (Hons) course from Manchester Metropolitan University you’ll design your own project around a challenge. Collect and analyse data and use your creativity to solve the issue – just like you would in the working world.
