The two-year part-time Executive-style MA in Human Resource Management is aimed at practising human resource professionals seeking to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of human resource activities. It is designed for HRM generalists and is intended to enable you to identify and make effective use of a range of methods and techniques for providing human resources for an organisation and ensuring their optimum utilisation.
The aim of the course is to develop strategic business partners and thinking HR performers for whom employers compete. However it is also designed as a networking vehicle with learning support groups (based on action learning sets), coherent cohorts and regular contact between alumni. There are two residential components, one at the beginning of the course concentrating on interpersonal and team working skills and the other, which takes place abroad in the second year of the course, concentrating on developing an international perspective and a ‘meta’ view of HR and people management.
Careers
Successful completion of this Masters degree also entitles you to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development’s Advanced Diploma – their highest academic qualification – and prepares you for careers in a wide variety of industries.
Contents
Course contents
The course consists of six taught modules plus a dissertation. These involve two residential components. The taught modules are:
* Leading, Managing and Developing People
* Contextualising Management
* Managing and Maximising Organisational Talent
* Researching HRM and Employment
* Employee Engagement
* Learning and Talent Development OR
* Employment Law and Practice
The dissertation is usually around 15,000 words.
During the Employee Engagement module you will participate in an international study visit to another EU country (previous residentials have been held in France). It will normally be of five days' duration. The week consists of visits to organisations, presentations from practitioners, and seminars and discussions on relevant issues.
In addition, Leading, Managing and Developing People includes a compulsory weekend residential at the beginning of the course to examine and practice the skills you will need throughout the rest of the course.
Assessment
Assessment methods include assignments written in report format, in essay format, comparative analyses, learning contracts and logs, presentations, group work and exams, (though there are only two exams on the course, and both are in the first semester). There will also be a dissertation, which carries 60 credits, which is the equivalent of three taught modules.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
