Key Features of the Programme
Some of the key issues you will study as part of your MA Human Resource Management degree programme include:
* How does an organisation best manage its people in a changing world?
* How do we ensure we have the best resource strategy?
* How do we keep our people's skills sets current and optimised?
* What are the most appropriate methods to increase and sustain performance?
* What are the current policies and practices employed in employment relations?
* What are the overall strategic implications of HRM?
With these in mind, the programme is designed to provide you with relevant human resource training, so that you are familiar with the latest theoretical and practical developments relating to the management and development of people in the workplace. Skills in research, team development and strategy coupled with an exceptional understanding of people in the workplace equip graduates to excel in the HR arena.
Career Opportunities
The programme will be of interest to graduates seeking careers in the HR section of multinationals, domestic and international organisations. Those already employed can diversify their knowledge and/or alter their career paths moving into the HR arena. In addition, it can lead onto further study. Careers range from HR generalists to training specialists to self-employed HR consultants. Graduates also work in general management roles that contain an element of HR management.
