Course Description

Whether you are starting a career in human resource management (HRM) or are already working in the field and would like to progress at a professional level, this International Human Resource Management MSc can help you to achieve your career goals.

It is designed to provide you with a foundation of knowledge and practical skills, plus an understanding of the role of the HR profession (with a focus on the issues and policies that affect international HR managers). The knowledge you gain is relevant to both the strategic objectives of an international organisation and the wider environment in which it operates.

After an induction programme introducing you to the Business School and the expectations and ethos of the course, you will go on to evaluate the external influences on organisations, such as European developments, comparative employment law, ethical issues and social responsibility. You will look at:

• the varying approaches to labour regulations and standards across the globe;
• human behaviour in organisations and how organisational and management performance can be enhanced through effective HRM;
• strategic HRM and the national differences and varying approaches adopted by multinational companies; and
• learning and development processes and the major types of employee relations management.

You will also develop a knowledge of resourcing issues and techniques.
