Course Description

Develop professional HR skills from our academic and practitioner experts on this CIPD-accredited programme.

Attracting the right people and nurturing their talent is crucial to the success of every organisation and a key source of competitive advantage. However, in a culture that values and rewards ‘a live to work’ mentality, balance and wellbeing are increasingly under threat.

This must change.

Highly skilled and knowledgeable HR professionals who can question, critically evaluate and make effective judgements can be this change.

The business of changing the world is ours.

Our MSc in Human Resource Management focuses on the differences you can make to organisations and their employees. You’ll develop the confidence, knowledge and skills to question, evaluate and make effective judgements on strategies and practices that deliver impact and value.

Our team of academic and practitioner experts will prepare you for a career as a HR professional, developing your critical analysis, negotiation, and problem solving and conflict resolution skills. They’ll use internationally recognised research to illustrate how HR practitioners shape and influence an organisation’s recruitment process, working culture and performance.
