Overview

Occupational Psychology at Northumbria University will develop occupational psychologists’ ability to apply psychological theory to the real world, provide an evidence base for their practice, whilst also reflecting critically upon their own practice and application of psychology. The doctoral research will further enable students to identify innovative solutions to existing work based problems and in turn make an original contribution to the field.

The programme will enable students to:

Develop a range of advanced research skills and techniques which can be applied to their own area of practice;
Make an original contribution to their field through developing skills to critically evaluate and translate research into practice; and
Conduct applied research to produce a thesis or portfolio which demonstrates contemporary thinking in occupational psychology. This thesis or portfolio will be of a standard which can be disseminated /published in their own professional area.

It is likely that students will be in full or part time employment when embarking upon this degree. The research component and production of a doctoral thesis or portfolio is designed to be of specific benefit to the individual, their practice and the organisation in which they work.
