About the course
The contemporary organisation is characterised by complexity and change

Our unique MA in Management and Organisational Dynamics, offered jointly by the Essex Business School and the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, aims to equip you with powerful tools to support your development as a future leader, manager, organisational consultant, researcher or executive coach


Drawing upon both critical management theory and the developing field of systems-psychodynamics, this innovative course will be of particular interest to anyone who wishes to understand the complex processes that impact on change in organisations


The integrated approach provides a deep analysis of the way organisations function, the nature of leadership and the way organisational structure and dynamics contribute to the operation of groups and systems


Learning is through taught and experiential elements, providing a platform for both further academic study and creative intervention in organisations

There are five taught modules, including an organisational observation and a residential group relations event

Those who are new to psychoanalytic approaches are required to attend a short pre-sessional course on Freud


The course is offered one year full-time, two years part-time or modular (up to five years)

Teaching takes place on Wednesday during term-time in the first year and Tuesday in the second year for part-time students

Full-time students attend both days for one academic year
