Overview

This programme bridges the gap between theory and practice. You’ll learn how different organisations approach managing teams and individuals and develop your skills as an adaptive, innovative and strategic manager.

All students taking the MSc Human Resources and Organisations programme study the foundations of HR management and strategy. Building on this foundation, this stream examines employment relations, labour markets and workplace policy in national and international contexts. It may be of interest if you’re considering work in organisations, government bodies or labour organisations, or further academic study.

Programme highlights:

An internationally recognised CIPD accredited qualification to help set you apart in the job market. All three streams are fully aligned with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) guidelines for postgraduate study - recognised in 180 countries
The opportunity to apply for the Links Scheme - a real-world consulting project with an external client that builds your industry connections and practical expertise, as an alternative to a traditional dissertation
Your choice of two elective courses from a wide range of options, allowing you to tailor the programme to your interests

A close connection to employers through the HR Work Shadowing and HR Mentoring Schemes, where, if secured, you'll connect with senior HR professionals and alumni
Career preparation embedded in your learning journey through the HR and People Management Career Series
