As the nature of work changes, organisations face challenges in recruiting, motivating, developing and retaining the workforce of the future. As a result, HR managers need to understand the future demographic, technological and societal shifts, and prepare themselves accordingly. With an increasing emphasis on globalisation, companies need experts who understand the global and comparative background to human resource management and development in the international business environment. This advanced level programme will give you the requisite knowledge and skills to work in a broad range of HR roles in an international context. This course is designed for graduates with an interest in human resource management and development careers. By the time you finish the programme, you will have developed as a manager of people by acquiring specialist knowledge that you will be able to apply in practice. You will gain a global perspective on human resource management and development themes and specifically focus on comparative employment relations and employment law in a variety of national settings. The programme is highly industry-focussed and culminates in the Industry Collaboration Project. You will choose one of four options to look at a real industry problem and provide researched solutions, helping you put your learning into practice.
