MSc Human Resource Management (HRM) Heriot Watt University

Program Description

Our CIPD accredited HRM degree will equip you with cutting-edge HR knowledge and skills relevant to the current and future workplace. Our programme will position you as an HR professional with specialist expertise in delivering sustainable HR practices. Our MSc HRM Masters provides unique insights into this new area of Human Resource Management. HRM benefits employers and employees, as well as creating wider social benefits including lower unemployment, inclusion for marginalised people, reduced demand for out-of-work and in-work benefits while reducing healthcare burdens due to work-related illness and disability. We recognise the rapidly changing trends in employment and offer an exciting selection of specialist courses to educate current and future HR practitioners in a more sustainable and socially responsible form of managing people. There are eight taught courses (divided equally over two semesters) and a HRM dissertation in semester 3, in a topic of your choosing. If you chose to study Part-time, you will register for two courses per semester and progress to the dissertation at the end of the second year.
