This course will help you to develop an understanding of how and why human resource policies and practices differ across the world. You'll examine how international companies address these challenges.
It allows you to consider these issues critically and encourages you to think more practically about the skills required to manage in an international context.
The programme will provide you with a good understanding of theoretical debates and policy issues affecting human resource management in the global context.
You'll develop an awareness of the range of possible national and regional models for the management of human resources within the globalised economy.
You'll learn about the impact of local cultural and institutional influences on the practices of global organisations.
By the end of the programme, you'll have a good working knowledge of the skills required to manage in an international context, as well as an understanding of how multinational organisations can best mobilise a culturally diverse workforce.
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 , which is home to the highly regarded Scottish Centre for Employment Research.
