What will you learn?

The graduate Business Psychology: Future Organizations and Technology program offered by SWPS Unviersity will provide you with interdisciplinary education including psychology, business, and technology. The program is designed to prepare you for the challenges modern organizations face nowadays. We believe in experiential and project-based learning, therefore the curriculum includes many projects and courses that will teach you skills sought after by human resources and technology companies which design tools and programs requiring Human-Technology Interaction (HTI).

Psychology and Business Components

Psychology is the biggest component of our program. During the course of study you will:

  • Gain a solid foundation in psychology as this discipline is the largest component of the program.
  • Get insight into various sub-disciplines of psychology such as applied social psychology, organizational psychology, management, and HR essentials. This will help you solve relational problems in small and large organizations, including international multicultural corporations.
  • Learn how to use innovative HR tools and business analytics, for example employee/candidate assessment.
  • Acquire advanced methodology and statistical skills, which are indispensable in conducting psychological research and psychological assessment.

Nowadays, psychology and technology go hand in hand. Psychological insights are integrated into the design of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) tools and psychologists take advantage of technology in their daily work, for example to carry out various assessments and research, and to provide psychological support to individuals. Therefore, you will:

  • Become familiar with cutting-edge technologies such as e-mental health, virtual reality (VR), and the concepts of user experience (UX).
