Human Resource Management

Overview

The Human Resource Management MSc/PGCert/PGDip programme from University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) is designed, above all, to target the needs of practitioners, with education that is intellectually stretching, practically relevant and up-to-the-minute. A particular feature is the personal interest we take in your development. Using  people analytic tools,  behaviour development workshops and a range of practical activities, we'll profile your unique attributes, develop your strengths and offer extensive feedback on your progress throughout. Our mentoring programme offers every student a personal link to a local HR professional who will discuss your progress with you and help you to relate the content of the course to practice.

Bristol Business School has one of the largest and most diverse teams of human resource management subject experts of any British university. Many of the tutors on our HRM Masters are active in HR-related research and have worked in the industry across a diverse range of sectors. Most tutors are CIPD members.

We have long-established links with the CIPD and share their aim of championing better work and better working lives. Our courses lead to associate CIPD membership and satisfy the core knowledge and core behaviours standards of the new Profession Map. CIPD student membership comes free with the full-time and international courses.
