Course Overview

The MSc in Organizational Behaviour at the London School of International Business and Management (LSIBM) is a research-informed master's inside the Business & Management faculty, written for OD managers, senior HR business partners and heads of people analytics. Across one year full-time (two years part-time online) it consolidates senior OD competence — organisation design, transformation programme leadership, people-analytics leadership and evidence-based intervention design — and closes with a substantial dissertation or sponsor consulting project.

Study runs on-campus in central London, fully online with UK / APAC cohort calls, or by distance learning from 2026. The dissertation or sponsor consulting project is defended in front of a working CIPD-chartered HR director.

What You Will Learn

Evidence-based intervention design.
Advanced people analytics — cohort, driver, predictive.
Culture assessment and evolution work.
