Program Overview

Students on this programme will have the advantage of being taught across two campuses in Limerick – both at ICHAS Limerick and Griffith College Limerick.

The ICHAS MA in Work Related Psychology enables you to gain an advanced understanding of the core principles of Work-Related Psychology, Organisational Psychology, and Human Resources Psychology, while equipping you with the expertise to address critical challenges faced by organisations.

The MA in Work-Related Behaviour with Leadership & Management is designed to accommodate the educational needs of psychology graduates who meet the eligibility criteria for graduate membership of Association of Business Psychology, making graduates eligible for recognition and membership of the ABP as Business Psychologists, and who wish to add to their portfolio of qualifications.
