Project Summary
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Work, Organizational, and Personnel Psychology (WOP-P) is a 120
ECTS Master programme that aims to train talented experts in WOP-P for an increasingly globalised
socio-economic context. It is implemented by an International Consortium. European partner institutions are
University of Valencia (Coordinating Institution), University of Bologna, University of Barcelona, and University of
Coimbra. Non-European partners are University of Brasilia, University of Baltimore, University of Puerto Rico,
Florida Institute of Technology, and Illinois Institute of Technology. Upon Master’s graduation, the University of
Valencia issues a joint diploma on behalf of the European awarding institutions.The Master’s employability is high
(https://www.erasmuswop.org/employability/). There are two general employability paths: as a practitioner and as
a researcher. Acknowledging the importance of practitioner prospects, our programme spares no efforts to
facilitate international internships, which are most welcomed by the business community. As for a career in
research, the student works closely with two tutors from different countries to prepare their thesis, furthering their
knowledge of international academic requirements.The Master addresses and distinguishes between the
discipline’s three fields (work, organizational and personnel psychology), and establishes a difference in activities
related to an “explanatory scientific” approach to human behaviour and contexts, and those emphasizing “change
and intervention”. Our programme follows on sustained efforts at European level, such as EuroPsy, and is
designed according to the professional competencies model for the European Certificate of Psychology,
supported by the European Federation of Psychology Associations and the Specialist EuroPsy Certificate in WOP
Psychology. The Master adheres to the scientist-practitioner model, integrating science and practice within mutual
interaction, and it considers both the evidence-based approach as well as methodology and research activities.
Traditional WOP-P topics are combined with emergent issues such as the achievement of the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals through WOP-P and digitalisation.Furthermore, multicultural skills and
competencies are a Master’s key element. Teamwork is encouraged among classmates from diverse nationalities
and cultural background. This process of intercultural awareness is particularly fostered during the Master’s
Winter School, where they must cooperate in teams in order to achieve shared objectives. Thanks to these
strategies, students learn to face similar scenarios to the increasingly multicultural context that future WOP
psychologists experience.
