Human Resource Management Masters - MSc

The Master’s in Human Resource Management (HRM) is a well-established programme which is designed to provide a solid foundation for successful participants to develop, or enhance their careers, in HRM. The programme is delivered by the Cardiff School of Management, recognised across the world as a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) professionally​ approved centre. As such, the MSc HRM is fully approved by CIPD and you will be eligible for an ‘Associate’ membership of the CIPD when you have successfully completed the full Master’s programme. The work environment has become more complex with significant changes in the organisation of work, an increasingly diverse labour force, new patterns of working and contractual arrangements. This is set against the background of a highly competitive global market. The attraction, retention and development of high-calibre people are sources of competitive advantage for organisations, and this places the role of HRM at the centre of high business performance and success.​ The role of HR professionals is more important than ever when organisations deal with the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. HR teams work in tandem with business heads to engage employees and keep up the morale, reconfigure workflows, redeploy talent and upskill staff to help them stay relevant. You will be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge for a multi-disciplinary approach to business, organisations and HR issues. By enabling you to function as autonomous learners, at the end of your studies you will have developed the foundations for future and continuing professional development.​
