The MSc in Industrial Relations and Human Resources provides students with the knowledge and skills required to address the changes taking place in the work of HR professionals, such as the need to engage with a global and diverse workforce and to understand the changes in the employment relationship. It combines a more traditional focus on industrial relations with human resource development and management from the perspective of the individual or the organisation. Research methods training is also integral to this course.
