International Human Resource Management MRes

Overview

The International Human Resource Management MRes is a pre-doctoral training program designed to provide a critical, research-led approach to the study of aspects of human resource management and employment relations. The programme reflects the research interests of the academics in the Centre for Research in Equality and Diversity who provide the majority of the teaching for the programme, together with training in the key research skills appropriate for Doctoral-level study. Alongside a suite of substantive modules offered in conjunction with the School's International Human Resource Management MSc, the programme includes core modules in research design, qualitative and quantitative methods taken jointly with social science students from a range of disciplines across QMUL, Kings College London and Imperial College as part of the training offered by the ESRC funded London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP).

The International Human Resource Management MRes is in an approved pathway for ESRC funding, enabling students to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both the MRes and a Ph.D., and successful MRes graduates to apply subsequently for ESRC +3 Ph.D. funding. The MRes also caters more generally for those seeking to develop their ability to apply knowledge and understanding of human resource management in a complex global environment –and is an ideal preparation for a career in multi-national business or in a human resource management role in national and international contexts, as well as for those pursuing advanced studies.
