Overview
We study HRM in the context of societal developments such as an ageing population, internationalisation, and technological change. This means we don’t see HR policy as a stand-alone policy domain, but rather as a domain in which developments within the organisation and within society as a whole are incorporated and integrated into management. What makes HR policies strategic is its coherence, its alignment with the organisation’s strategic goals, and with internal and external developments.
This Master’s in Strategic Human Resource Management programme at Utrecht University involves gaining an understanding of the theory and research in this area, you will learn how to apply this knowledge when analysing policy issues that organisations have to deal with in their environment.
