This course will prepare you to navigate the complexities of managing organisational talent. You'll learn to understand both the internal and external factors that shape HRM.

Join a Business School of leading academics who are shaping policy and practice. You'll be taught by nationally and internationally recognised scholars in a wide range of areas, including the behaviour of individuals, groups, teams and organisations, along with inter-organisational topics.

We're committed to the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). We incorporate global social responsibility and sustainability values into our teaching and research.

• assess and improve employee engagement strategies
• integrate theoretical frameworks with practical applications
• learn how to address contemporary challenges and drive organisational success
• connect with acclaimed experts who specialise in research-informed teaching.

You can enhance your experience further by taking part in CIPD conferences, employer visits and practitioner seminars. You might also decide to pursue advanced training in research methods.
