Learning through doing is the best approach and you’ll get straight down to business with practical assignments being set throughout the programme, starting in year 1. In the first half of the first year, you explore the field of international human resources as you start your journey towards becoming a global human resource expert.
Module 1: Exploring International HRM
The module Exploring International HRM focuses on understanding human behaviour in business from a theoretical and practical point of view. The module provides insights into how global organisations create optimal conditions for their staff in order to achieve the company’s strategic goals. You learn to apply concepts and theory from industrial and organisational psychology, human resources management and business ethics and law to practical cases, whilst also strengthening your professional and personal skills and development.
Module 2: Innovation in a global HR environment
The Innovation in a global HR environment module focuses on global HR trends and developments such as how the work place is being greatly affected by changes in technology and the global economy, by increasing competition for human talent, and by employee mental well-being.
