Introduction:
The MSc Strategic Human Resource Management course presents an exciting opportunity for human resource practitioners and anyone who has an active role in managing people, to consider and challenge the application of theoretical perspectives to real organisations, including your own. Delivered through a work based approach to gain a Master’s qualification, this course will further enhance your knowledge and understanding of organisational development and people management as well as to develop your commercial awareness and strategic capabilities in modern organisations.
Our lecturers will help you to further develop your ‘thinking skills’; to become a critical thinker and reflective practitioner is not only a valuable skill in an academic context but essential in the development of your people management capabilities which can have a significant impact on wider organisational activities.
The course is designed and underpinned using the principles and components of the CIPD Profession Map.
