-
How can companies use Artificial Intelligence to help select the best job candidates, or manage their employees?
-
How should companies manage, promote, and pay their people?
-
What is a healthy workplace?
-
Where do people perform at their best?
-
What is good leadership?
-
How can we spot problematic leaders?
-
How do we coach people to improve their work-life and performance?

Our Specialisms Our program is taught by a group of academic practitioners with specialisms in computational psychometrics and organisational wellbeing.
Computational psychometrics combines psychological theory with machine learning and artificial intelligence methodologies to measure individual differences in personal attributes like personality and cognitive ability. Applied computational psychometrics is often used in Human Resources technology, for example, video-based assessments or AI-based video interviewing.
Organisational wellbeing uses psychology to improving the performance and health of people in a broad range of work environments. For example, Contextual Behavioural Science theories, and interventions such as acceptance and commitment therapy are used to predict and enhance wellbeing and performance. Health and wellbeing can also be studied in social entities like organisations by looking at interpersonal and structural antecedents of wellbeing, and how they affect specific groups.
Shape the future of work This program is designed to introduce you to the core elements of occupational psychology. It will equip you to work in research and applied settings to help shape the future of work. Whether you are looking to be self-employed, in-house, or a consultant in HR, tech, coaching, development, academia, or other sectors, you will gain the skills and knowledge to study and influence human behaviour.
