Course summary

Overview

This qualification is perfect for you if you want to develop your personal effectiveness and business acumen. You’ll learn how to design and manage your own strategy, enhance people management skills, and learn how best to apply specialist evidence-based HRM knowledge in thoughtful ways with the aim of improving working lives for all.

Our Masters in Human Resource Management course builds on core human resource management theory and practice to examine the range of people management challenges which organisations face. The course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), therefore you can obtain professional membership of the CIPD.

To study with us you don't need to have previous work or study experience in the field of Human Resource Management. As part of the course we deliver teaching in the key concepts and practices of HRM, alongside developing the practical skills you need to become a successful HRM professional. In your final semester you'll also have the opportunity to do a consultancy case study, acting as a human resources (HR) consultant to fictional companies, while solving realistic HR problems and working with HR practitioners.

We teach you the need for thoughtful and ethical management practice, and this course is no exception. Ethics and considerate practice should be the focus of organisations and is the foundation for our course.

We have a number of internationally recognised academics teaching on this course and available to help you during your studies. We offer a collaborative learning process and encourage you to talk about your work experiences, about what you believe good people management to involve, and where work practices need to be legislated.

Course objectives

On successful completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • show an understanding of HR theory and practice at a strategic level, demonstrating complexity in your thinking regarding theories relevant to the people profession;
  • be able to synthesise information from a range of sources, critically question it, evaluate it, and be able to apply it effectively to people management issues;
  • select and demonstrate appropriate communication approaches and outputs using written, verbal, and digital methods;
  • demonstrate integrity of approach and propose ethical solutions to people management issues;
  • demonstrate initiative and capability to construct arguments designed to influence practitioners by researching and producing evidence-based solutions to people management issues.
