Our MSc in Global Human Resource Management takes an international approach, giving you a unique skill set to help you stand out from the competition as organisations increasingly expand across borders.
On this course, you’ll be introduced to key HR practices and will investigate the impact that the globalisation of businesses has had on the HRM industry. You’ll explore why HR measures that are effective in one country can fail within another, even though they’re part of the same organisation.
On this practical course, you’ll use case studies of real organisations to develop your knowledge, so you can immediately apply what you learn to your place of work. You’ll also have the option to develop a real HR action plan for your current organisation as your dissertation, which could help you land a promotion or new job.
You’ll leave this course with the practical skills necessary to effectively manage employees from a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds. And because knowledge of the HR industry on a global scale is sought-after in the workplace, you’ll become a valuable asset to businesses around the world.
As the first module on your course, Managing Human Resources will give you an overview of the field. You’ll investigate key HR functions and responsibilities of HR professionals, building a base on which the rest of your modules will expand.
You’ll consider key HR theory and practice within a global environment. You’ll examine HR through a global, international and comparative perspective, and discuss and explore leading research into HR policy and practice. By the end of this module, you’ll have developed a critical understanding of how HR practices and policies differ across a global business environment, as well as the implications of a strategic and global perspective.
Companies don’t operate within a vacuum, so it’s important to understand the influence external environments can have on an organisation. On this module, you’ll critically evaluate how national and global contexts can impact organisations and HR strategies, and influence the characteristics of effective HR leadership.
You’ll investigate the key theory, policy and practices associated with the employee lifecycle. You’ll develop and evaluate resourcing and talent management strategies, and gain professional knowledge on managing recruitment, selection and performance reward activities that are effective, efficient and lawful. Another key component is understanding HR’s financial impact. For this, you’ll explore various learning and development interventions, learning techniques for their identification, creation, delivery and evaluation.
In your final investigative project, you’ll evaluate an organisational issue in an ethical way from an HR perspective. This organisational issue can be one within your current organisation. You’ll then propose a solution based on critical analysis in a persuasive report for decision-makers. Because this project represents a key function you would need to perform within an HR role, it’ll provide you with invaluable experience that you’ll be able to apply immediately to your current role, and carry forward into your career.

Global HR manager:

Diversity and inclusion manager:
Specialists in this area create and implement processes to improve diversity across all levels of an organisation. Diversity and inclusion managers will often identify or develop useful training programmes that promote inclusive thinking and behaviour.
HR business partner:
HR business partners work extensively alongside their organisation’s senior stakeholders to develop HR strategies that support business aims. They will also use their in-depth understanding of the company to update and implement new policies as it evolves.
Global sourcing manager:
People in this role oversee their organisation’s sourcing – or, in some cases, outsourcing – of labour, services, and materials. Global sourcing managers are tasked with creating efficient supply chains, as well as ensuring compliance with best practices and regulatory bodies.
