Master of Science - Human Resource Management

Program Description Effective development and implementation of human resource management (HRM) strategy is seen as increasingly important in achieving business success and positively influencing the performance and wellbeing of employees.

This MSc HRM programme will enable students to make a significant contribution to people management practice and develop a deep understanding of the changing role of HRM in the development and implementation of employment policies and procedures.

Students will learn the specialist skills and expertise they need to be effective and influential in an HR role at both strategic and operational levels and acquire an in-depth understanding of key HRM policy areas such as recruitment and selection, training and development, employee relations and performance management.

Aimed at both newly-qualified graduates and managers already working in the field of people management, as well as those who see their careers developing in this direction, the course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) as an advanced-level qualification and provides students (on successful completion) with Associate Membership of CIPD and with the knowledge indicators required to apply for upgrade to Full Chartered Membership of the CIPD (please note that upgrading to full Chartered Member is dependent on the type and level of professional experience the student has accumulated).
