MSc Human Resource Management

You will study core units throughout the programme, starting with core theories and concepts including employment relations, HRM in the global economy and the context of work in the 21st century.

In term two, you will focus on the 'future(s)' and 'alternatives' to work and organisation, and engage in timely debates on what the world of work could look like. Finally, in the summer term there are two routes available. The first is an individual dissertation, which provides an opportunity for independent research and in-depth investigation into a topic area that can be adapted to reflect your interests and career choices. The second is an applied group research project, in which you will be matched with an external business or third sector partner related to human resource management. You will then produce a report for the partner organisation which recommends solutions to real world issues.

You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in any discipline.

We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree.

If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant work experience or qualifications. If you have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing:

• 5 years' work experience in a relevant sector (HRM-related work, or HRM-relevant areas such as trade union work, advocacy, charity, research).
• a relevant postgraduate qualification.
