Title of Masters Course

WOP-P Master on Work, Organisational and Personnel Psychology

Duration: 2 years Course description: This Masters programme aims to prepare both European and non-European students to become competent practitioners in Work, Organisational and Personnel Psychology. It is offered by a consortium of five European universities: the University of Valencia (Spain), the University of Barcelona (Spain), Rene Descartes University Paris 5 (France), Bologna University (Italy), and the University of Coimbra (Portugal). The programme includes courses on work, organisational, and personnel Psychology, including theory and methodology, elective courses related to the field, a Joint Intensive Learning Unit (Winter School), a professional internship, and a final Professional Report integrating research and practice. Based on the "scientist-practitioner" model, this programme prepares practitioners through the acquisition of professional and research competences. It implements the main guidelines developed by the Euro-Psych model for the European Diploma of Psychology (EDP) supported by the European Federation of Psychology Association (EFPA). It also follows the Reference Model and Minimal Standards of the European Curriculum in WOP Psychology established by the European Network of Work and Organizational Psychology Professors (ENOP). The duration of the Programme is two years. Each student will work for half of the programme at the institution where they are registered. Students also have to study for at least a third of the Course in another partner institution located in a different country. Any combination of home and host universities is possible, as long as the student spends time in two different countries. The languages of instruction and examination are those of the countries where the universities are located (Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese), with the exception of the Joint Intensive Learning Unit (Winter School), where the language of instruction and examination is English. Some seminars and courses in the partner institutions may also be given in English. The size of the student population is 125, and 75 teaching staff are involved in the programme. Teaching staff consists of well-recognised researchers and professionals from throughout the world. Students will be awarded a double degree from their home and host institutions. The Masters programme qualifies students for the professional practice of Work, Organisational, and Personnel Psychology. As it is based on national laws regulating the psychologist profession, the titles awarded make it possible to practice the profession of psychologist in the field of WOP Psychology in the countries of the programme. Moreover, the Masters programme facilitates access to doctoral studies in this and related disciplines. Admission criteria are a prior university degree in psychology, English language skills according to the common European Framework of reference for languages and fluency in at least one of the European languages of the consortium (Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese).
