    4 Years

The Professional Doctorate in Organizational Psychology is an accredited University of London doctoral degree. It is the first programme to be accredited by the British Psychological Society as an alternative to the British Psychological Society's (BPS) Stage 2 Qualification in Occupational Psychology, meaning that successful completion of the programme confers eligibility for chartership through the BPS (subject to holding Graduate Basis for Registration).

If you hold a BPS-accredited Master's degree in organisational/occupational and/or business psychology, and you are in related employment, this doctorate will let you apply your learning directly in the workplace and use your work experience to inform your research.

About this course

A BPS-accredited Master's degree in organisational/occupational and/or business psychology (at Merit or above). Students must be in relevant employment to be able to apply their learning to the workplace.
Students who have already completed Stage 2 of the British Psychological Society Chartership process (and are therefore, or are eligible to be, both Chartered and hold Registered Psychologist status with the Health and Care Professions Council) will be exempt from Part One (Professional Practice Portfolio).

Course programme

The first two years will develop your professional competence and prepare you for independent research and practice through the following six professional practice portfolios:

  • Leadership, Engagement and Motivation
  • Learning, Training and Development
  • Psychological Assessment at Work
  • Wellbeing and Work
  • Work Design, Organisational Change and Development
  • Extended Case Study and Presentation.

If you successfully complete this stage, you can either graduate with an MRes in Professional Practice in Organizational Psychology or progress to Years 3 and 4 to develop your competence in research methods and consolidate your skills as an evidence-based practitioner and researcher so that you can complete a 40,000-50,000-word doctoral thesis.

We have expertise in both qualitative and quantitative techniques and are well placed to supervise all research topics in organisational psychology. Our particular interests include:

  • Coaching, careers and lifespan development
  • Diversity and inclusion in the workplace
  • Decision making, heuristics and bias
  • Leadership and critical management studies
  • Organisational sociology
  • Professional development and training
  • Selection and assessment
  • Worklife balance, boundary management and digitisation of work
  • Well-being and occupational health.
