Master of Science - Human Resource Management

The Master of Science in Human Resource Management programme is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and is ideal for those interested in developing a career in human resource management, employment relations, employee development or allied fields of management.

This program covers all the essentials of human resource management and develops students' skills up to a strategic level, culminating in a dissertation. It includes learning in employment relations, work design, learning and development and employment law.

The programme is taught by academic experts with both a strong track record in human resource management related research and practitioner Human Resource experience. It focuses on developing critical thinking and analytical skills alongside more practical skills required for a career in people management. These practical skills include making presentations, role-play practice in handling challenging situations, and problem solving skills through case study analysis.

Loughborough University's links to the CIPD reinforce the professional skills and behaviours that students develop throughout the course, as well as providing the opportunity for networking with business leaders and Human Resource (HR) professionals.
