This 16-month MSc Human Resource Management with an integrated Postgraduate Certificate in either Management Studies, Digital Marketing and Analytics, or Finance and Management, will allow you to gain specialist knowledge in an area relevant to your interests.
You'll study a range of HR topics, such as developing human resources and professional practice, talent management and resourcing for sustainable performance, organisational development, digital learning practices, employer relations, and developing research practitioners.
When you successfully complete the course, you'll have fulfilled the requirements for professional membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD).
After completing MSc Human Resource Management, you will study a Postgraduate Certificate focusing on management, digital marketing, or finance and management.
Teaching methods include a mixture of online and on-campus lectures, case studies, workshops, and computer-based learning.
Your progress will be assessed through individual and group assignments, business reports, presentations, case study analysis, portfolios of work, time-constrained activities, and the master's reflective project.
