Course content

This course on work and organisational psychology includes teaching that will deal with issues in working life where (clinical)psychological skills and qualifications are important. This applies for example to areas such as business culture, organisational change, sickness absence, working environment, health and safety, recruitment, management and personal development.

The content of this course overlap to some degree with PSY1050 Personnel Psychology, but the form of examination different. No exemption is therefore awarded for the course.
