Strathclyde Business School is home to many staff focused on the application of psychology to work and organisations, and has extensive collaborations with industry, policymakers and practitioners.Employability, and the acquisition of technical knowledge and soft skills, is at the heart of this programme. You will be taught by academics and practitioner psychologists and will be given the opportunity, through seminars and lectures, assessments and feedback, to understand how theory is applied. This is picked up in People Analytics and Professional Practice modules specifically, whereby the design of the module is aligned to the BPS consultancy cycle. In addition, the ability to build social capital is a key employability factor enabled within the department.You will be expected and encouraged to engage with wider University events, such as attending departmental and Business School seminars and also attend our Away Day and Research Conference, providing you with the opportunity to build up your network. To deliver useful learning, we encourage external engagement and have built professional networks across the UK and internationally, for example, the British Psychological Society, Health Care and Professions Council, European Association of Work and Organisational Psychology, and employer organisations.
