Course Information

The track focuses on occupational health psychology, more specifically the psychology of interventions that promote the well-being and functioning of people at work. The background, development, and application of work-related coaching and other interventions (including mindfulness) play a key role in this track. Students also learn how to develop evidence-based approaches, introduce interventions and apply coaching techniques.

Questions such as these are explored in the Coaching & Vitality in Organisations Master’s track. 

Important topics in this field are:

  • Individual coaching and work-related counseling

  • Mentoring

  • Employee development

  • Performance improvement

  • Personal development

  • Job satisfaction and vitality

Student-activating teaching methods
