Course details
The MBS in Human Resource Management provides the student with the opportunity to greatly enhance their specialist subject knowledge, experience innovative learning methods and explore opportunities arising from innovation, change and business development. Students achieve this through participation in class activities and through involvement in a series of events including those organised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
Our School is an accredited centre for the CIPD professional body and the MBS Human Resource Management awards CIPD graduate accreditation which is a global qualification. A key feature of this programme is that it sets the theories into a wider practical perspective, through the use of case studies, state of the art technology and visiting staff who are experienced and respected practitioners.
As part of the programme, students will:
- Engage in a business simulation management exercise where they have the opportunity to work in teams and make strategic decisions about their business
