Human Resource Management MSc

The MSc Human Resource Management is an intensive masters-level specialist programme for graduates who have a prior qualification in social sciences and wish to develop their knowledge and skills in the practice, theory and policy of the world of work.<br/><br/>This 12-month full-time programme will appeal to students who want to develop an understanding of the key global challenges facing Human Resource Management today. These challenges include, but are not limited to:<br/><br/><br/>• The role new technologies are having on the workplace including the management of flexible working practices, or how algorithmic management is shaping working conditions.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Social inequalities such as gender impacting career opportunities and outcomes.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• The presence of exploitative working practices.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Climate change and the need for sustainable working practices and careers.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The programme will not only explore issues such as the above, but it will also focus on solutions through management practice and alternative forms of organisation.<br/><br/>We aim to develop analytical and confident critical thinkers through research-led teaching. You will gain insight into the nature of Human Resource Management and the complexity of organisations from a variety of disciplines.<br/><br/>You will be part of a dynamic and diverse body of staff and students in Bristol and will be taught by experienced academics. 88% of our Business and Management research is rated as world-leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021), reflecting its impact on shaping policy and practice.
