BA (Hons) Business Psychology & Organisational Behaviour (Dual Award)

Overview

Understand workplace cognition, consumer psychology, change management dynamics, and human performance optimization in hybrid global organizations. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 60% / 40% international credit split. BA (Hons) Business Psychology & Organisational Behaviour (Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 36 months, and the credit total is 180. Students move from Strategy for a real organisation through Strategy for a real organisation; Money and operations; People and change; Capstone brief; Strategy for a real organisation (BAX-D202); Money and operations (BAX-D203), and finish on People and change (BAX-D301). Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students read a finding and say what it shows about behaviour, and what it does not. Reading is one empirical paper, one methods critique, and an ethics note. The artefact a marker expects is a critical review that a non-specialist manager could follow. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Two official Bachelor of Arts degrees with full EU ECTS credit recognition Psychometric evaluation labs and behavioral design case studies Mentorship from German organizational psychologists and GMU leadership faculty Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a psychology, counselling, or clinical licence. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

BAX-D101	Strategy for a real organisation Strategy for a real organisation (BAX-D101) is a 20-credit course on BA (Hons) Business Psychology & Organisational Behaviour (Dual Award), with 200 notional learning hours. By the end, students can read a finding and say what it shows about behaviour, and what it does not, using Strategy for a real organisation as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses one empirical paper, one methods critique, and an ethics note. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a critical review that a non-specialist manager could follow. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer a psychology, counselling, or clinical licence.
