Programm - MSc Human Resource Strategies

The complex economic, social and technological changes that are continually shaping the context of work in organisations are having a profound impact on how to best manage and develop the people within them. This programme is designed as an advanced qualification for HR practitioners working within all areas of HRM at senior management / executive level. The MSc HR Strategies is fully accredited by the Chartered Institute for Personnel (CIPD) and provides a coverage of the discipline that closely mirrors the CIPD Advanced Practitioner Standards. It aims to equip students with an advanced understanding of human resource management and organisational behaviour theory and practices and how they can be drawn upon to improve organisational effectiveness and better manage change.
The programme focuses on developing appropriate knowledge and skills in order to utilise HR strategically so as to gain more benefits for both the organisation and the individuals within them. It is underpinned by management theory and draws upon appropriate models and concepts from across the social sciences. The approach to learning offered by the teaching faculty combines independent study alongside group and tutored teaching across eight units that integrate theory, research and practice within a supportive pedagogical framework. The teaching on the programme is delivered through eight 3-day courses. However, there may be some evening teaching dependent on optional units chosen.
