Deep Psychological Understanding of Modern Businesses

Contemporary businesses are operating in highly competitive environments and are solving increasingly complex problems requiring cooperation within and across skill sets, functions and organizations. Work is more than ever performed in teams, responsibility is largely delegated, and organizations go through major changes at an increased frequency.

As a result, it is imperative for businesses to develop a profound understanding of human behavior and psychology to sustain their performance, ensure employee well-being, effectively implement organizational changes, formulate strategies for altering behaviors, foresee the consequences of delegation, and communicate within organizations as well as with external stakeholders.

To fulfill these needs, the first two semesters provide students with knowledge of the psychological and behavioral foundations of decision-making, communication, stakeholder relations, and moral judgment, as well as workplace psychology, behavioral design, and methods and tools relevant to business psychology.

Each course in the Program is cross-disciplinary by design.

In their third semester, students are free to choose between elective subjects or an internship. Finally, students use their fourth semester to write their master’s thesis.
