Human Resource Management MSc

Shape the future of work. Gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead people, drive organisational success, and create workplaces that serve both business and society.

The world of work is changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence, sustainability, hybrid working, employee wellbeing and global talent shortages are transforming how organisations attract, develop and support their people. Our MSc Human Resource Management equips you with the knowledge, practical skills and strategic mindset to help organisations navigate these challenges and build thriving, inclusive workplaces.

Through evidence-based, research-led teaching, you'll learn from internationally recognised experts, whose research shapes policy and practice across human resource management, employment relations and organisational behaviour. You'll explore how organisations can attract, develop and support people in ways that improve organisational performance while creating healthier, more inclusive and sustainable workplaces.

Alongside developing specialist HR knowledge, you'll build highly transferable skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, leadership and ethical decision-making. With opportunities to engage with employers, guest speakers and applied learning throughout the programme, you'll graduate ready to make a meaningful contribution to organisations across the public, private and third sectors, both in the UK and internationally.
