The People, Work and Organisations online course enables students to gain an understanding of the factors which influence how people behave at work and how these link to performance. Students can investigate the differences between individuals, how organisational factors affect individual behaviour, and how these differences affect group dynamics. Students will walk away with the practical skills and research-backed knowledge to positively impact on individual, team, and organisational performance in a variety of dynamic business contexts.

This accreditation recognises Edinburgh Business School’s extensive experience and expertise in online learning and further solidifies our position as a leader in online education for students from around the globe seeking a rigorous qualification to enhance their career.
