Increasingly the key to competitive advantage for an organisation, recognised by business leaders and academics, is the effective management of an organisation’s most important resource, its staff. This involves the creation and utilisation of a distinctive set of integrated employment policies and practices.
This programme is designed to assist participants to understand how the employment relationship operates on both an individual and collective basis. This understanding will achieve greater utilisation of the human resource and facilitate greater business success and increased employee satisfaction. It will allow participants to develop and assess employment policies and practices. As such, the programme would be beneficial for both general managers and those working, or intending to work, in the specialist function of HRM.
Contents
The programme has been designed to meet the CIPD (2010) advanced standards. Completion of the programme provides the “full knowledge bank” required for Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) membership.
As such the programme offers a range of modules which explore the context within which HRM operates and the contribution HRM makes to organisations. The use of research to aid organisational effectiveness and improve problemsolving is fundamental to the philosophy of this MSc, and students will be encouraged to develop skills for research and critical evaluation throughout the programme.
The emphasis during the programme will be to produce professional managers with the ability to apply critical thinking skills and practical vocational skills. As such, work-based assignments and projects are a key feature of assessment. Modules include:
Certificate
* HRM in Context (20 credits)
* Leading, Managing and Resourcing (20 credits)
* Learning and Talent Development (20 credits)
Diploma
* Developing Business and Interpersonal skills (20 credits)
* HRM Management Research Report (20 credits)
* Managing Employment Relations (20 credits)
