This MSc in Human Resource Management is suitable for both specialist HR practitioners and for general managers who would like to improve their HRM skills.
Our emphasis is on how HR strategies and decisions have an important and lasting impact on the performance of organisations, whatever their size, type and sector. We set the HRM specialism firmly within the broader field of business, management and corporate strategy.
You’ll gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of organisations, how they are managed and the external challenges they face. We draw on the latest thinking, pioneering research and fascinating case studies, including looking at HRM in an international context.
You'll usually need:
A degree of at least a 2:2, or equivalent
If English is not your first language, you will also need IELTS 6.5 with 5.5 in each skill area
Relevant work experience
This MSc can help you progress towards the higher levels of HR management, but because people are a vital component of any organisation, it can also help you excel in more general management roles. Its approval by the CIPD means it's well-regarded by employers, and its content will ensure you leave as a forward-thinking practitioner with high levels of professionalism and a thorough grasp of modern strategic practice.
After completing this course, most of our students go on to gain promotions or secure more senior roles in other organisations. Our graduates now work across the world in HR management and director positions for public, private and not-for-profit organisations, including Boots, the NHS, Rolls-Royce, Toyota and local authorities.
Wherever your career takes you, we equip you with some key transferable skills that will be of value in any professional role. These include: leadership, teamworking, networking, communication, and the ability to present and justify intellectually rigorous arguments. We also develop your critical self-analysis and reflective practice skills, which will support lifelong learning and encourage you to continuously grow and develop throughout your career.
