International Human Resource Management and Comparative Industrial Relations – (M.Sc.)

Advancing technology means the world is getting smaller. Put your HR career on the global stage with a degree that focuses on managing people across borders and putting human resources into an international context.

With more and more people working for international corporations or global international supply chains, the study of international human resources and industrial relations is becoming ever more important. The increasing globalisation of the economy and pan-national employment legislation also means the ability to compare processes and practices across continents is a sought-after skill.

This CIPD-accredited course is extremely advantageous in securing a career in HRM. It gives you an understanding of the differences between the employment practices and industrial relations systems of varying countries and multinationals, and how they are influenced by social and economic factors. You also look at the influence of economic integration on changing systems of employment and industrial relations.

Successful completion of the course entitles you to Graduate Membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Close links are maintained with local branches of the CIPD via guest speakers. You gain real-life experience and boost your CV through workshops by leading HR practitioners and attending a live employment tribunal case. The CIPD awards an annual course prize for the best performance on the course.
