Description

Our MA Human Resource Management is a highly valued postgraduate qualification with an international reputation for quality. It is designed for those who want to pursue senior level careers in human resource management (HRM) in the UK or internationally and covers essential skills for your professional development and future career. The programme is genuinely international in focus and is grounded in the leading-edge research conducted by the teaching team. This research-led teaching means that the programme also provides an excellent grounding if you are interested in research careers or doctoral studies.

The MA Human Resource Management is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) as meeting the advanced-level underpinning knowledge of an HR professional.

You can opt to take the HR practitioner pathway which will not only equip you with the knowledge required to gain professional membership of the CIPD, but also the opportunity to develop key skills and behaviours that have been identified, by the CIPD, as capturing what successful HR people do. The practitioner pathway includes additional practical and interactive skills sessions, led by industry specialists and informed by the CIPD HR profession map.

The HR practitioner pathway is optional but strongly recommended if you aspire to become an HR professional practitioner.
