Course Summary

Course Overview

The Masters in Human Resource Management (HRM) is a well-established programme which is designed to provide a solid foundation for successful participants to develop, or enhance their careers, in HRM. The programme is delivered by the Cardiff School of Management, recognised across the world as a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) professionally approved centre. As such, the MSc HRM is fully approved by CIPD and you will be eligible for an ‘Associate’ membership of the CIPD when you have successfully completed the full Master’s programme.

The work environment has become more complex with significant changes in the organisation of work, an increasingly diverse labour force, new patterns of working and contractual arrangements. This is set against the background of a highly competitive global market. The attraction, retention and development of high-calibre people are sources of competitive advantage for organisations, and this places the role of HRM at the centre of high business performance and success.

Assessment

A range of assessment methods are used. Modules are assessed using a variety of assessment methods, for example, coursework (includes assignments, reports, presentations and reflective journal) and examinations and a research dissertation. The exact assessment methods employed will vary between modules. Assessments are designed to encourage students to apply knowledge, understanding and skills to specific organisational/HR issues and problems; to encourage enquiry-based learning, to approach problems in a systematic way, and to promote critical reflection. Students can exit at Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma levels.

Employability & Careers

The knowledge and skills gained from undertaking this Masters programme, coupled with the ‘Associate’ membership of the CIPD, provides a strong foundation for entry into, or enhancement of, a career in HRM. The MSc HRM is also a valuable qualification to equip students for other managerial and leadership roles in organisations which value strong people management.
