Human Resource Management at Lancaster University at Main

Successful organisations have successful employee relations. However, it takes sophisticated conceptual and analytical skills to deliver this. It needs a deep understanding of people in an organisational context. This MSc provides the tools to allow students to thrive in the world of human resource management.

This program is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Students receive student CIPD membership immediately and become an associate member when they are awarded their degree (subject to successful completion of all modules and necessary fees).

Every organisational decision has an impact on its workforce. This program's aim is to foster critical and reflective thinking and pragmatism. Students will be given the confidence to challenge existing workplace thinking using good theoretical understanding. They will engage with real life business reports and learn how to assess the impact on HR issues which may include staff development, retention and workload alongside financial outcomes.

This course examines the role of the manager, the organisation and employment relations in human resource management. Students will be taught by distinguished academics who are acknowledged leaders in their field. The department offers a student-centred, supportive environment by keeping the number of students small. This allows faculty members to role-play with students to give practical experience of situations they will face in the workplace for example, conducting a performance appraisal.

Students will study HR concepts such as recruitment and selection, careers and wellbeing as well as Employment Relations issues such as the importance of equality and diversity. They will look at how contemporary organisations function and manage organisational change. Graduates leave able to manage people effectively and make sound judgements through conceptual and analytical understanding. Many progress to general management roles, HR management roles or into further academic study.
