The MSc in International Human Resource Management runs for one academic year, starting in mid-September.
A comprehensive induction week provides an introduction to the programme, the School, and the University. Designed to be both informative and fun, it enables you to get acquainted with your fellow classmates.
The taught component of the programme consists of six core courses in total, four in the first semester and two in the second semester. These are the foundation upon which the MSc is built, focusing on practical skill development as well as research methods.
Option courses give students the opportunity to specialise. In semester two, you will tailor your studies towards your career interests through the selection of two of these courses, which include IHRM Policies and Practices, Global Talent Management, and HR Issues in Outsourcing.
Finally, your MSc dissertation brings all this learning together in a piece of work unique to each student.
