About

Course overview

Want to shape the way people work and thrive in organisations around the world? Step into the future of global business with our Human Resource Management and Organisation MSc.

Our course is designed to help you reach your full potential and excel in global human resource management positions. You’ll gain the tools to build a positive workplace culture, handle complex employment issues and attract and retain talent in diverse, global environments – giving your organisation a competitive edge.

You’ll learn from academic experts through engaging lectures, practical workshops and real-world case studies. Meanwhile, group projects, presentations and immersive HR scenarios will help you develop key soft skills that employers value, such as communication, teamwork and leadership.

You could specialise in:

Strategic Human Resource Management
International Human Resource Management
Employment Relations
Leadership and Organisational Change
Ethics and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in the Workplace

Our teaching approach extends beyond the classroom. You’ll have great opportunities to meet businesses, boost your skills and grow your career. You’ll engage directly with industry through guest lectures, real life case studies and occasional site visits.

A major benefit of this course is that it’s accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), leading to valuable networking opportunities through your local CIPD branch. Once you meet the criteria, you’ll get full exemption from the CIPD Advanced Diploma.

With tailored careers support, many of our master’s students go on to secure roles with world-leading employers. Recent graduates have been hired by top organisations such as Amazon, Deloitte, Boots and the Civil Service.
