This course provides the opportunity to evaluate theoretical frameworks relevant to the study and practice of human resource management and employment relations under conditions of change. You will examine a range of human resource/employment relations approaches, techniques and research methodologies, and manage your personal development, in terms of transferable intellectual and employability skills, as appropriate for continuing learning in a professionally related career.
The course is designed for those who wish to become human resource and employment relation´s practitioners and/or undertake further research in academic, consultancy or commercial settings. Practitioners seeking a more academic Master's qualification in human resource management, rather than an MBA, will find the course of interest.
The aim of this MSc is to provide a critical theoretical and applied knowledge and understanding of human resource management and employment relations. Graduates as prospective entrants to human resources management roles, as 'thinking performers', should be able to address business and professional situations knowledgeably making contributions to improved organisational performance and delivery of sound personnel/human resources practice and services.
