AI Is Scaling Fast. Human Leadership Isn’t. Tomorrow University Launches Five New Master’s Programs in Applied Psychology

Berlin, January 6th – Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences, Europe’s pioneer in personalized online education, today announced the launch of five new Master’s programs in Applied Psychology, beginning March 2026.

As artificial intelligence accelerates, one capability is becoming increasingly critical: the ability to understand, relate to, and lead people. Tomorrow University’s new programs respond to this shift, equipping professionals, leaders, and change-makers with the psychological expertise needed to turn rapid technological progress into sustainable human progress.

Together, the five programs are designed for those who want to understand themselves and others more deeply and translate psychological science into meaningful impact across work, organizations, technology, and society.

Rather than treating people development as a standalone discipline, Tomorrow University takes a systemic view with its programs: from the inner world of the individual to collective, organizational, and societal transformation, where human connection, judgment, and leadership matter most.

From Self to Systems: Psychology as the Differentiator in the Age of AI

In an AI-driven world, technology is advancing at unprecedented speed. Yet as systems become smarter and more automated, human interaction becomes more valuable – not less. What differentiates meaningful progress today is not technical capability alone, but our capacity for self-awareness, empathy, collaboration, and intentional leadership.

Tomorrow University’s five Master’s programs are built on this conviction: sustainable progress starts with self-leadership and extends outward to teams, organizations, and society. Each program focuses on a distinct layer of human development, while remaining deeply interconnected, reflecting the reality that psychological insight must flow across levels to create lasting impact.

The Five Master’s Programs

Master’s in Self Leadership & Longevity

Focuses on the individual: cultivating self-awareness, motivation, resilience, and sustainable mental and physical well-being – foundational skills in a fast-changing, high-pressure, AI-augmented world.

Master’s in People Development & Coaching

Explores how individuals grow through learning, feedback, and guidance – equipping professionals to support human development where automation cannot replace human presence.

Master’s in Organizational Psychology & New Work

Centers on teams and organizations: culture, leadership, collaboration, and navigating change in increasingly digital, hybrid, and technology-driven workplaces.

Master’s in Human-Centred AI & Technology

Examines how humans and intelligent systems interact – designing ethical, inclusive, and psychologically informed technologies that support human agency and well-being.

Master’s in Systemic Transformation & Change

Applies psychological insight to large-scale challenges – enabling leaders to drive transformation across organizations and societies shaped by technological disruption.

Learning Psychology Where It Matters Most

Across all five programs, learners engage with applied psychology through Tomorrow University’s challenge-based learning model. Instead of studying theory in isolation, students work on real-world challenges – often at the intersection of people, technology, and change—where human judgment, ethics, and collaboration are essential.

• Human Mind, Behaviour & Development – Explore how people think, learn, feel, and grow across the lifespan, drawing on cognitive, social, emotional, and biological psychology.
• Well-Being, Health & Sustainable Human Functioning – Examine the psychological, behavioural, and environmental factors that shape physical and mental health, resilience, and long-term well-being.
• Behavioural Science & Positive Change – Learn how to understand, predict, and ethically influence behaviour at individual, group, and societal levels to drive meaningful change.
• Teams, Leadership & Organizational Transformation – Study the psychology of collaboration, culture, motivation, leadership, and how people navigate change, applying evidence-based strategies for healthy, high-performing, and adaptive organizations.
• Psychology, Technology & the Future of Work – Analyse how humans interact with digital systems and AI, evaluate their impact on cognition and well-being, and design human-centred, ethical technological experiences.

Graduates are prepared for roles where understanding people is a strategic advantage—from leadership and coaching to behavioural science, organizational development, human-centred technology, and systemic transformation.

Learning from Global People Leaders

Learners will gain insights from Chief People Officers, coaches, and transformation leaders from global organizations such as N26 and Axel Springer. They bring lived experience in navigating complexity – from fostering well-being and learning, to leading cultural change, behaviour transformation, and responsible technology adoption.

By combining these perspectives with academic depth, Tomorrow University enables learners to turn psychological insight into practical, evidence-based action – across individuals, teams, organizations, and systems.

A Personalized Learning Experience

All five Master’s programs are delivered in a flexible, online format, allowing professionals to learn from anywhere in the world while applying insights directly to their work. Learners join a global, mission-driven community committed to redefining leadership and human development in the 21st century.

Voices of Impact

“As AI reshapes our world, the real question isn’t just what technology can do – but how humans grow, connect, and lead alongside it. With these five programs, we’re building a new foundation for people development, from self-leadership to systemic transformation,” said Dr. Thomas Funke, Co-Founder & CEO of Tomorrow University.

“The leaders of tomorrow will be those who understand people as deeply as they understand systems and technology. These programs offer exactly that foundation,” said Noor van Boven, Investor & former Chief People Officer at N26.
