Overview
Introduction
You’ll study the foundations of employment relations and human resource management and gain the skills to design, conduct and evaluate quantitative and qualitative research.
Drawing on our wide-ranging research strengths, you’ll have the chance to study topics such as diversity and inclusion, wellbeing, recruitment and selection, and people analytics. Multidisciplinary study is a key feature of learning at LSE. So, alongside your core studies, you’ll take an elective course from a related field such as management or law.
You’ll begin your studies on the master of research degree and move on to the PhD (subject to satisfactory progress). You’ll also have the chance to complete a substantial piece of work that makes an original contribution to the field.
Here at LSE, we have a vibrant community of world-class academics and doctoral students who are pursuing varied research in different fields of management. Ranked sixth in the world for social sciences and management, LSE is the ideal place to engage in the latest employment debates and learn from world leaders in the field.
We're also ranked second in the UK by percentage of overall four and three stars in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021).
