Students who choose to take the Research Masters Programme Social and Organisational Psychology acquire in-depth knowledge of a broad range of theories and research domains in this area, all concerning the way people’s social environment influences thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. This programme focuses specifically on processes within and between groups.

Relevant fields for application are organization and management in particular, but also economic behaviour and environmental issues.
