Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses
WOP-P
Master on Work, Organisational and Personnel Psychology
Course description:
This Master’s programme aims to prepare both European and non-European students to become
competent practitioners in Work, Organisational and Personnel Psychology. It is offered by a
consortium of five European universities: the University of Valencia (Spain), the University of
Barcelona (Spain), Rene Descartes University Paris 5 (France), Bologna University (Italy), and the
University of Coimbra (Portugal). The programme includes courses on work, organisational, and
personnel Psychology, including theory and methodology, elective courses related to the field, a Joint
Intensive Learning Unit (Winter School), a professional internship, and a final Professional Report
integrating research and practice. Based on the "scientist-practitioner" model, this programme
prepares practitioners through the acquisition of professional and research competences. It
implements the main guidelines developed by the Euro-Psych model for the European Diploma of
Psychology (EDP) supported by the European Federation of Psychology Association (EFPA). It also
follows the Reference Model and Minimal Standards of the European Curriculum in WOP Psychology
established by the European Network of Work and Organizational Psychology Professors (ENOP).
The duration of the Programme is two years. Each student will work for half of the programme at the
institution where they are registered (home university). Students also have to study for at least a third
of the Course in another partner institution located in a different country (host university). Any
combination of “home” and “host” universities is possible, as long as the student spends time in two
different countries.
The languages of instruction and examination are those of the countries where the universities are
located (Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese), with the exception of the Joint Intensive Learning
Unit (Winter School), where the language of instruction and examination is English. Some seminars
and courses in the partner institutions may also be given in English. The size of the student population
is about 75 , and 75 teaching staff are involved in the programme. Teaching staff consists of wellrecognised
researchers and professionals from throughout the world.
Students will be awarded a double degree from their “home” and “host” institutions. The Master’s
programme qualifies students for the professional practice of Work, Organisational, and Personnel
Psychology. As it is based on national laws regulating the psychologist profession, the titles awarded
make it possible to practice the profession of psychologist in the field of WOP Psychology in the
countries of the programme. Moreover, the Master’s programme facilitates access to doctoral studies
in this and related disciplines.
Admission criteria are a prior university degree in psychology, English language skills according to the
common European Framework of reference for languages and fluency in at least one of the European
languages of the consortium (Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese).
