MSc Human Resource Management (International)

There is a growing worldwide demand for professionals and leaders who can devise and apply creative human resource solutions across national and international contexts.

Success in these roles requires mastery of comparative HR practice, combined with sensitivity to context and insight into both employers' and employees' needs.

This course will equip you with a critical grasp of the issues, themes and challenges central to managing people, whatever the context.

The course will suit you if you're seeking or have already started, a career in managing people or as a specialist HR professional in any part of the world. Its international focus is particularly relevant if your career plans involve working in:

  • countries other than your own
  • international organizations within your home country (including the UK), or
  • home country organizations that emulate the highest standards of HRM practice worldwide.

If you are pursuing an HR career in the UK, we also offer a popular MSc in Human Resource Management, which is tailored to the needs of British HR professionals.
