The MSc Human Resource Management is for those who aim to pursue a career in the field of human resource management.
The aim of this course is to develop an advanced level of knowledge and understanding related to the human resource management function in organisations.
Mixing theory and practice, this programme offers you the opportunity for in-depth study of organisations and the management of work.
By the end of this programme, you'll have an understanding of, and be able to critically evaluate how organisational and HR strategies are shaped and developed in response to internal and external environmental factors. You will display a critical understanding of professional practice in human resource management, informed by an international outlook and strong social awareness.
Employability is at the centre of this programme. During the course of the year, you will have the opportunity to take advantage of multiple opportunities to engage with senior HR professionals both within the classroom and beyond. For example, the department subsidises attendance at the CIPD Scotland Student Conference and the HR Network Scotland, with the latter event being attended by nearly 400 HR professionals. Both formally, though the Business Skills module, and informally, we encourage you to reflect on your engagement with the HR profession as a means to enhance your understanding of the HR profession and what being an HR professional entails.
Additionally, the Work-based Project which underpins the Integrated Dissertation and Research Report allows you to evidence your development as an aspiring HR professional. Taken together, these activities seek to significantly enhance your employability as you look to move into the HR profession.
The programme is delivered by the Department of Work, Employment & Organisation home to the highly regarded Scottish Centre for Employment Research.
