What is the MBA in Human Resource Management?
This MBA pairs a full management toolkit with a deep specialisation in human resources. Core modules cover finance, innovation, marketing and strategic leadership. Specialist modules cover strategic HRM, talent, performance and reward, employment law, and organisational development.
The specialist modules put the HR function at the centre, so every business subject links back to people strategy. You finish with a supervised project on an HR challenge in your own workplace.
Two examples of who might use it:
- A senior HR manager in a private company who wants stronger finance and strategy skills.
- A general manager in a family business who handles people management and wants formal HR credentials.
