You build transferable skills in evidence-based reasoning, data analysis, communication, academic research, presentations and ethical professional practice.
Career prospects
You can pursue roles such as HR officer, research assistant, people and culture coordinator, behavioural insights assistant, student support officer or market research analyst, with further training needed for regulated psychological practice. Employers include multinational companies, banks, schools, NGOs, research firms, hospitals, public agencies and international organisations in Ghana and overseas.

You are likely to thrive if you enjoy asking thoughtful questions about people and can work confidently with research and data. Independence, cross-cultural awareness, empathy and strong communication will help you make the most of the programme.
