Organisational development professionals put people at the heart of organisations. Together they create a positive and inclusive working environment, encouraging collaboration, removing inequality, increasing performance.  OD enables people to thrive. Roffey Park’s masters in organisational development is an established, internationally recognised master’s qualification in the field of organisational development. 

The MSc in People and Organisational Development is designed as a practical, experiential OD qualification.  The programme is delivered through a mixture of virtually taught components, online materials and self-directed group learning.  The latter takes the form of Dialogic Learning Groups in which learners work together, share their experiences, provide each other with feedback and expand their horizons.  This form of social learning has been a speciality of Roffey Park Institute for many years and offers a powerful and impactful learning experience. Throughout the masters in organisational development you will be challenged to think critically and creatively about organisations, their people and their role in the wider society.

The programme has recently been reviewed, renewed and converted into an online delivery format.  In addition to the thorough grounding in organisational development practice that the masters has long delivered, the new version allows us to open the programme to fully international cohorts, allowing for global networking among experienced OD professionals and diversity of opinions and perspectives.

We are an associate partner of the University of Sussex who act as validating authority for our MSc in People and Organisational Development.
