Course Summary

The aim of the MSc in Human Resource Management (HRM) is to give you the knowledge, understanding and key skills that are required by today’s HR professionals and to enable you to effectively contribute to dynamic organisations.

Managing people - an organisation’s most valuable and often most costly resource - has for a long time been a key business challenge. Changing economic, financial, demographic, and political landscapes mean that the constitution of effective human resource management and how it may best be practised is constantly evolving.

Recent developments indicate clearly that the portfolio of HRM responsibilities within organisations is growing with the need for employee engagement with broader policies such as corporate social responsibility or work-life balance.

The programme has been designed to provide a combination of courses that will enable the professional development of future HR managers.

Modules

Organisational Behaviour (OB) focuses on the behaviour of individuals, groups and organisations and on the factors that determine the performance and effectiveness of teams and organisations. In our professional lives, most of us get things done by working with others. Hence a good understanding of organisational behaviour is useful to anyone working in any organisation, and particularly for those in managerial or leadership roles. The organisational , problem-solving, and analytical skills gained in OB complement technical skills derived from subjects such as reward management, economics, accounting and finance. The purpose of this course is to understand organisations and the factors that make them work effectively. It also covers how and why things sometimes go wrong in organisations. Organisations harness human effort and ingenuity to achieve outcomes. Done well, organising can produce amazing outcomes, but it can also be a formidable challenge and bad organisation can have very negative consequences.
