MSc in organisational behaviour


Hello,

I have a MSc in coaching and sport psychology from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. I was initially aiming for a career as a sport psychology consultant, but have changed my plans, and hope to find myself working with organizational development within a few years.

Thus I have decided to go for another year with studies, but have not decided which MSc programmes i should go for yet.
I think perhaps a MSc in mangement will do it, but I also thing that a MSc in organisational behaviour also could be a good alternative. The main reason for taking a MSc in UK is to get a broad understanding of business, and I think there are two routes to go in order to get this. One route is to go for a MSc in management. By doing so, I will get a broad understanding of business in the sense that I understand marketing management, finance, and so forth. The second alternative is to go for a MSc in organisational behaviour. This will give me a broad understanding of organizations and people work in them I suppose. Can someone please help me to select my direction?

Moreover, I have browsed several MSc programs and I have found the following programmes really interesting. But can someone please tell me what they know about the university and the programme? The studies I have selected for interest are:
1) Aston business school - MSc in organisational behaviour
2) Imperial business school - MSc in management
3) Strathclyde - Msc in management
4) Cass - Msc in organisational psychology/ behaviour

How is the MSc in organisational behaviour, is the university and its reputation good? Or shall I go a MSc in mangement instead. I have very good grades from my MSc in coaching and sport psychology (Avarage A on the Norwegian system (A is Best; E is worst; F is fail).

Cass does not offer an MSc in organisational psychology.

I think you have two choices, which flow from your goal. Right now you are unclear: do you want to focus on organisational development? Do you want to not focus, and instead study business and management?

If you want to study OD, then the choice is whether you want to work in the UK. If you do, consider whether you want to qualify as a chartered occupational psychologist. This would require an conversion MSc accredited by the BPS like this course in applied psychology http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate/2013/applied-psychology---msc/

If not, then a course in OD or managerial psychology will be a good direction.

If management is your goal, then focus on the FT masters in management ranking.

I am not sure why you are focussing on just those four schools.
