Psychology: Occupational Health Psychology
Master
The master's specialisation Occupational Health Psychology at Leiden University draws upon and integrates knowledge of several disciplines in psychology, with a clear focus on workers and their work setting.
This one-year specialisation focuses on the application of psychology to protect and promote the safety, health, and well-being of workers - with the aim to improve the quality of working life.
Occupational Health Psychology is designed to address the contemporary societal concerns for occupational health and safety. The term 'health' in 'occupational health psychology' does not only include workers' physical state, but also emotional, cognitive, motivational and behavioural aspects.
You will learn to look at the context of the workplace from different disciplines: Health Psychology, Social and Organisational Psychology and Applied Cognitive Psychology. This makes Occupational Health Psychology a very wide-ranging specialisation.
