About Master of Science - Human Resource Management (16-month)

Program Description

GCU's MSc Human Resource Management prepares students for the ethical, cultural, legal, operational and strategic aspects of human resource management - while giving them a global outlook and an understanding of responsible leadership. This way students will be ready for success - and support the common good to make a positive impact.

The program is one of only several in the UK to be accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and aligned to the US Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) standards.

The curriculum brings together critical analysis of leading theories and trends in human resources with relevant industry practice from the real world. Students will develop skills that will be practical and valuable in a range of contemporary specialist and generalist HRM/people manager roles.

  • Expand expertise of niche and specialised topics in HR
  • Develop the expertise to effectively manage people in a diverse national and international environment
  • Study contemporary theory of human resource management
  • Apply theory to practice through case-studies and investigative projects
The MSc Human Resource Management course provides sessions on contemporary issues such as:

  • Remote working and work-life balance issues 
  • Dealing with furloughed workers
  • Rights of zero-hours and temporary workers in the gig economy
Full-time students will also complete an industry placement in a human resources function. This work placement ties into a hands-on research project, so students can bring together everything they have learned through a Business Investigation Report (PG Diploma) or HRM Research Project (Masters) - an accomplishment that's especially valuable to employers.
