Kathy Hartley
MA Human Resource Management
I chose to study the MA in Human Resource Management at Leeds University Business School as this was linked to my interests and prior work experience.
It was a combination of the atmosphere, the fabulous building and the research and academic credentials of Leeds which sold it to me. Leeds also provides the opportunity to achieve graduate membership of the CIPD, which is a great asset for those wishing to get into HR posts on completion of the Masters. I personally opted to take the CIPD pathway and so studied Industrial Relations and Occupational Psychology, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The MA in HRM has built upon my sociological roots, but in an industrial context. Sociology is something that I have been interested in since I was a teenager. The course has also challenged some of my assumptions on work and organizations, as it has exposed me to knowledge and research from a wider range of contexts and perspectives.
Having had the practical experience first at work, it has been great to see how theories relate.
As a result of studying this course, I could now work in HRM /General Management in the public or private sector or consultancy.

MSc International Business
I chose to study MSc International Business at Leeds University Business School as Leeds had such a good league table ranking.
The course taught me the basics of both the internal and external business environment and provided an opportunity for me to improve both my numerical and presentation skills.
The course broadly covers the internal and external business environments, specifically on an international scale. It looks at the international business environment, focusing on strategic management.
I have really engaged with modules on strategy and the broad international business environment. The course is very international, not only in content, but also in student and lecturer composition.
When I graduate, I hope to secure a job either in strategic or political consultancy. Studying an MSc in International Business has broadened my education beyond the specific realm of politics. I hope that I will be able to find a career that utilises both domains; one that is intellectually challenging and rewarding.
