MSc in Business and Organisational Psychology

What you study

The MSc in Business and Organisational Psychology is for people who want to apply psychology theory to business, whether or not they have studied psychology before. It is offered at International Business Academy in Kolding in cooperation with Coventry University in the UK, and it is taught in English.

The degree is built over three semesters. In the first semester you take Psychological Assessment at Work, Work and Wellbeing, and Leadership Engagement and Motivation, each worth 20 CATS. The second semester covers Learning, Training and Development, Consumer Psychology, and Project Planning and Research, again 20 CATS each. The third semester is a Systematic Literature Review and Evidence Based Practice at 60 CATS. The full degree comes to 180 CATS.

The register lists the specialisation as International Business. The course draws on the staff's international network, and students usually come from a range of countries, so the intercultural side of the work is part of the experience.

Admission, language and next steps

You normally need a completed undergraduate degree (bachelor or equivalent) in a relevant subject area. You also need to meet the English language requirement, which is equivalent to IELTS 6.5. The institution's website sets out the full English requirements and the exemptions that apply.

Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge. Other students pay a tuition fee that the institution sets; the register shows the fee and payment options, including instalments for EU nationals and for those legally resident in Denmark when they apply.

Applications for master's programmes go straight to the institution, not through optagelse.dk. Check the programme page for the application route and documents. The degree title is Master (1 year), and the course runs for 14 months.

Completing the course lets you practise Business and Organisational Psychology in related fields. That does not transfer to other areas of psychological practice.

Master’s applications go straight to International Business Academy, not through optagelse.dk, and the institution sets its own deadline.
