How the Course Works
Learning and Assessment
MSc Human Resource Management is a very practice-oriented subject, and this is reflected in the way you'll be taught and assessed. Theory will of course be explored, but it’s in the application of this theory that you’ll learn how to address the challenges faced in managing people and organisations.
On Graduating from the Programme, You Will Know How To:
Critically evaluate contemporary HR policies and practices in different business, industry and organisational contexts.
Initiate, promote and implement organisational change and development policies.
Develop effective evidence-based practices and policies designed to support strategic objectives and effective human capital building, deployment and reconfiguration.
Demonstrate effective communication and negotiation skills relevant to contemporary HR practice.
Use effectively business research skills to address HR issues and practice aiming at organisational impact.
Undertake an autonomous research project where they can identify and justify a research question/s, design and implement a suitable research methodology, analyse data, discuss results and make suitable recommendations.
Assessment
In addition to traditional methods of assessment, including exams, class tests and reesearch projects, you’ll be assessed using a number methods, designed to give insight into best practices in the world of work. These include portfolio work, case study analysis, presentations (individual and group) and report writing.
There will also be 'authentic' assessments that replicate the type of work you would be expected to undertake as an HR professional. This includes self-reflection and activities such as designing and running a staff development event. The aim of the assessment strategy is not only to test your personal knowledge of the course, but also help you to learn through practice.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
