Summary
Our intensive one-year MSc Management with a specialism in International Human Resource Management (HRM) is for graduates from a wide range of subject backgrounds. It is not necessary to have any prior academic or practical experience in business or management. This programme is for students who aspire to management-level and leadership roles in international HRM within their chosen industry.
Our MSc Management pathways provide an introduction to management, followed by a detailed exploration of a specific area of management theory and practice — in this case, human resource management in an international context. The programme attracts students from around the globe and you will work with peers from diverse backgrounds and interests.
You will develop an in-depth understanding of human resource management theory and practice across borders. You will critically evaluate areas including cross-cultural management, comparative employment relations and HRM, and the human resource practices of international organisations.
We aim to guide, teach, and develop analytical and confident critical thinkers. You will gain insight into the nature of management and international HRM and apply theory to practice through in-class discussions of real cases and practical methods. Group work and presentations, often based on industry case studies, allow practical application of theory and develop the teamwork and communication skills expected in today's workplace.
This programme will help you to:
-
Apply management techniques drawn from a range of disciplines — such as marketing, operations, organisational behaviour, strategy, finance, and accounting, HRM — to management in organisations.
-
Understand the nature of management, the complexity of organisations, and management’s role and responsibility in addressing societal and global challenges.
-
Reflect upon the wider challenges that organisations face and critically engage with ethical and sustainability issues as they arise.
-
Prepare for a career in management and leadership roles in your chosen industry with expert knowledge in your specialist subject.
Graduates from this programme will benefit from studying at a top 10 UK university (QS World University Rankings 2026). You will be taught by leading academics whose research tackles the global societal issues facing modern management. A large percentage of our business and management research is rated as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent' (REF 2021), reflecting its impact on shaping policy and practice.
Teaching for this postgraduate programme will be delivered at our new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, opening 2026. Here, enhanced links with industry and collaborative learning spaces will provide students with real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate. Depending on your choice of optional units, you may also be taught on the Clifton Campus.
