The MSc Human Resource Management programme is accredited by the Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development (CIPD) and is ideal for those interested in developing a career in human resource management, personnel or allied fields of management. Subject to appropriate option choices and professional membership, graduates will meet the knowledge requirements for Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development (CIPD), the professional body for Human Resources, Employment Relations and related professions in the UK. Our MSc Human Resource Management programme is taught by academics with both a strong track record in human resource management related research and practitioner HR experience. It focuses on developing critical thinking and analytical skills alongside more practical skills required for a career in people management. These practical skills include making presentations, role-play practice in handling challenging situations, and problem solving skills through case study analysis. Our links to the CIPD reinforce the professional skills and behaviours that you develop throughout the course, as well as providing the opportunity for networking with business leaders and HR professionals. We pride ourselves on the international perspective which is a theme throughout the programme, as is the emphasis on ethical best practice which one would expect from aspiring professionals. Loughborough School of Business and Economics is a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), and these values are reflected throughout the programme. Our MSc Human Resource Management programme offers you the opportunity to explore a range of aspects relating to Human Resource Management. You will also have the opportunity to undertake an individual research project on an agreed topic, guided by one of our expert research supervisors. Most large and medium sized organisations employ HR and personnel specialists and the programme aims to prepare our students for professional roles in the global Human Resource community. Graduates will be well equipped to bring expertise to both specialist HR and more general management roles in both private and public sector organisations. Students are encouraged to become student members of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), and are then able to attend local branch meetings as well as national events, both of which offer excellent opportunities for networking. Loughborough University’s Careers Network has a range of resources dedicated for post graduate business students, and can offer both UK and international student’s advice and guidance on steps to develop their future careers.
