What is the WOP-P Master?
The European Master on Work, Organizational, and Personnel Psychology
(WOP-P) is a postgraduate university programme, supported by
the European Commission through the Erasmus Mundus Programme.
The Master requires a university degree in Psychology. The objective is to contribute
to the qualification of professionals and researchers in the
discipline of Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology
emphasizing a European approach and perspective. The Master
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).
Five European Universities are involved: Universitat de València (Spain) as the coordinating institution, Universitat de Barcelona (Spain), Université René Descartes Paris 5 (France),
Alma Mater Studiorum-Università di Bologna (Italy),
and Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal).
The duration of the Programme is two full-time years, with
a total workload of 120 ECTS credits (60 per year). The languages of
instruction and examination will be the languages of the countries
where the universities are located (Spanish, French, Italian,
and Portuguese), but some invited seminars and courses in the
partner institutions may be in English.
Students will gain a broad view of the discipline thanks to
the mobility requirements of the Master: The student has to
develop at least 60 ECTS credits of the workload in the partner institution
where he/she is registered (Home University), and at least
40 ECTS credits (1/3 of the total) in another partner institution located
in a different country (Host University). Any combination of
home and host universities, pertaining to different countries,
is possible.
Students are awarded the double title, delivered by the Home
and the Host Universities they study at over the master programme.
Call for applications opened for academic year 2009-2010.
