About the course

The MSc in Management and Human Resource Management (a route of the full-time MSc Management) has been designed for future managers who specifically want to develop their interest in HRM while strengthening their understanding of wider business areas and concepts critical to the success of 21st century organisations. The Human Resource Management (HRM) route is designed for those with an interest in managing people, and builds on the core module in Managing People Information and Knowledge.

Our curriculum is reviewed and developed through consultation with our students, employers and alumni. Central to our course design is engagement with external businesses and organisations, leading to direct experience of consultancy work.
