Human Resource Management (part-time) (MSc, PG Dip)

This a two-year, part-time programme intended for human resource professionals, or line managers with people management or devolved HR responsibilities as part of their role.

Part-time study allows you to learn new skills while continuing to stay in employment and earn a salary. The knowledge and skills gained through your studies can be implemented immediately into the workplace, providing benefits to both you and your employer.

Studying over two years means the pace of study helps you retain a good work-life balance. Teaching is arranged so that you only need to commit to classes one day a week, from 1-7pm.

The aim of this course is to develop an advanced level of knowledge and understanding related to the human resource management function in organisations.

Mixing theory and practice, this programme offers you the opportunity for in-depth study of organisations and the management of work.

You'll have the opportunity to attend guest lectures and tailored seminars delivered by leading HR and business managers, focusing on the practical challenges of managing people in organisations.

The programme is delivered by the Department of Work, Employment & Organisation, winner of the HR Network Award 2018 for Outstanding Contribution to Scottish HR. The department is also home to the highly regarded Scottish Centre for Employment Research.
