In this specialisation you will gain in-depth knowledge of a broad range of research domains, all concerning the way people's social environment influences thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.

This two-year research programme focuses specifically on processes within and between groups. Examples of theory development and research in each of these areas are conflict management, leadership, social dilemmas, diversity, stereotyping and prejudice, individual and group decision making. After graduation, relevant professional fields could be organisation and management in particular, but also economic behaviour and environmental issues. During your training you will be actively involved in an ongoing research programme.
