MGT6165 Research Methods for Occupational Psychologists

Aims/Description: In this module, you will develop transferable skills that are relevant to research and practice. You will learn about the purpose of research, how it is evaluated, and why it allows humanity to progress. You will also learn how to select appropriate methods for answering specific research questions, as well as the rationale for using different research designs. The module includes a range of guest speakers, who are often international experts on their areas of focus. Moreover, skill based sessions are used to illuminate areas such as interviewing skills, theory development, and a range of qualitative analysis methods.
