About this course

People influence every aspect of organisational performance.

Understanding what motivates people, how teams work, why employees behave in particular ways and how leaders influence organisational culture can provide powerful insights into business performance.

This degree explores those questions through an interdisciplinary approach combining psychology and business management.

You will explore areas such as motivation, behaviour, leadership, organisational culture, employee experience and people management while developing broader business knowledge.

The course encourages you to apply psychological concepts rather than studying them solely in abstract terms. You will consider how psychological insight can support practical organisational decisions.

Organisations have responsibilities towards their employees, customers and wider communities. Throughout the degree, you will explore ethical approaches to leadership, people management, organisational behaviour and decision-making.

You will also consider sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly themes relating to equality, wellbeing, decent work, inclusive organisations and responsible approaches to managing people.

The degree combines a strong understanding of the Lincolnshire employment and business environment with an international perspective on people and organisations.

You will consider how organisational behaviour, leadership, motivation and employee expectations are influenced by different cultures, sectors and working environments. Local examples from agriculture and food, manufacturing, tourism, retail, professional services and community organisations provide opportunities to connect theory with practice.

This makes the degree particularly suited to students interested in people-focused careers who also want a strong understanding of business.
