Business & Management/Psychology (SocSci) MA (Hons)

The study of business and management offers you a structured insight into both the theoretical and practical dimensions of organisations and management. Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. It is about understanding how people think, act, react and interact; and how this understanding can help us, as psychologists, help people on an individual basis but also help address wider societal issues through academic endeavours and professional practice. <br/><br/><strong>Why study this course at the University of Glasgow?</strong> <br/><br/>You will benefit from a wide range of diverse expertise within Business & Management, as well as our collaborative ties with local industry and commerce which make significant contributions to the degree programme.
