About

Core Modules

Dissertation - Human Resource Management

This module is for human resource (HR) management students and apprentices who are expected to demonstrate a strategic awareness and have a business orientation, with a particular focus on creating value and impact for organisations through people management and development practices. The dissertation, as an applied practiced-based piece of work, should provide a persuasive argument whereby an organisation can realistically undertake recommended changes to policies/ and or practice(s).

Human Resource Planning

Effective organisations need to develop a strategic approach to the attraction and retention of staff, analysing their key employment markets and gaining an understanding of their dynamics so as to enable them to compete more effectively, both now and in the future. Indeed, human resource planning to enable an organisation to meet its future demand for skills is an increasingly important HR role. This module focuses on the practical and strategic aspects of the key HRP processes including recruitment and selection, employee retention and employee release.

Leadership and Business Performance

To be effective, organisations need to develop continuously their strategic capabilities by implementing effective performance management systems to drive individual, team and manager performance. HR professionals have a central role to play in this process, supporting both individual managers and the wider organisation in the achievement of the organisational mission and objectives.

Leadership and Management Development

One way for an organisation to gain competitive edge is through the efforts of its people. In an ever-increasing turbulent world of work, with change classed as a given, organisations must now look at enhancing their human resource to deal effectively with the changes they face on a day-to-day basis as well as future challenges in the workplace. The latter of which has taken on a new role in terms of the global/international context. Therefore the focus of this module is on the development of leadership and management in facilitating organisational, team and individual change and growth. You will explore the differing approaches and interpretations of the concepts of leadership and management within a range of organisational contexts including public, private, not-for-profit, large, small, national, international and multicultural organisations.

Learning and Development

This module aims to facilitate an informed critical examination of the concepts relevant to the discipline of human resource development, and develop the professional competence required to perform effectively in roles associated with the design, delivery and evaluation of learning and development.

Postgraduate Business Research Methods

This module develops your awareness and understanding of the factors that impact research design for business and management students. You explore the ethical principles underpinning business research, research methodologies, data type, collection and analysis, research methods and how to present a research proposal and dissertation.

Resilient HRM in Context

The aim of this module is to give an understanding of the complex and changing context that HRM finds itself in and the importance of HRM being resilient in these turbulent times. At the same time it gives you an awareness of contemporary HRM issues in readiness for being future-thinking practitioners with cutting-edge knowledge of HR developments.

Modules offered may vary.

The apprentice develops their understanding through interactive workshops, lectures, individual and group activities, case studies and presentations. There is an average of 20-24 days of delivery per academic year and face to face delivery takes place on Fridays.

Assessment methods vary according to the module studied and include examinations, assignments and presentations.

On completion of the Master in Human Resource Management, learners complete an externally assessed End Point Assessment (EPA) where they undertake a project proposal presentation and a professional discussion based around their portfolio of evidence.
