Why study the Master of Organisational Psychology?
This program prepares students for organisational psychology practice, focusing on building skills such as critical analysis, problem solving, communication, consultation and organisational change skills. Organisational Psychology seeks knowledge of behaviour in organisational settings by systematically studying individual, group and organisational processes. Organisational psychology employs a 'scientist-practitioner' method of enquiry: first to seek understanding of behaviour within employment contexts and then to develop techniques and skills which foster employee well-being and organisational effectiveness.

Placement courses
Masters students are required to complete 1000 hours of supervised practice over four semesters. Every effort is made to place students within a reasonable distance of the UQ campus but they can be expected to travel up to 60 minutes away. Students are generally placed at Ipswich, Brisbane, and the Southeast corner of Queensland. Students are not required to have a current Blue Card (Working with Children Check) before starting their practice, because all of our students are required to be provisionally registered with the The Psychology Board of Australia before starting their studies. There will be no extra costs to the student in addition to course fees except for incidentals such as travel and daily expenses.
