Business Psychology, B.Sc.
Business Psychology is the practice of understanding and improving working life. It combines an understanding of the science of human behaviour with experience of the world of work to gain effective and sustainable performance for both individuals and organisations. What kind of environment do employees need for their optimal development? And how can teams be led effectively? The economy is one of the largest employers of business psychologists. With their specialist knowledge of psychological and economic interrelationships, they play a major role in helping companies to better understand their customers and employees, and in establishing a good working atmosphere. As a bachelor student of "Business Psychology” at the CBS International Business School, you will acquire the basics of business administration and economics, strategic management, and psychology. After graduating in Business Psychology, you can take on higher management positions in marketing, management consulting, or human resources departments.
