Master in Human Resources Management [120.0] - GRH2M

Profound changes in societies and organizations affect the way in which the management of people within an organization can be done. The Master in Human Resource Management isdesigned for future professionals in human resource management who will have to work in a changing world and new contexts. Instead of providing them with techniques and tools which would become rapidly obsolete, this programme aims to equip students with the following skills:

•          to assess the current situation through rigorous and critical analysis, by identifying different kinds of HR management and organization and by clearly understanding the constraints and opportunities offered by HR management and the way it relates to other forms of management;

•          to identify the ways to bring about improvement and change and implement them appropriately for each particular context and the objectives to achieve.

The Master in Human Resource Management is centred on managerial aspects of organizations, rather than personnel administration techniques with emphasis throughout on the twin requirements of precision and operationality. It is not designed to provide convenient and ready solutions for all purposes but instead to develop professional expertise in understanding and taking action in the human resource field of management.  For this reason, various disciplines are brought together: management, public sector administration, law, psychology and collective labour relations.

It produces professionals who can work in the HR field, in training departments or on the board of different organizations, in private or public companies and in market and non-market organizations.

The programme is made up of 120 credits and includes :

• optional subjects from relevant disciplines (management, work and organizational psychology, public sector administration, collective labour relations and HR  management), for a total of 60 credits. These are divided between the core subjects and the professional focus;  
• a foreign exchange visit for a semester (30 credits), including at least 15 credits for subjects in the area of HR management in organizations
• a work placement of at least three months which is the subject of an individual analysis (28 + 2 credits for the work placement report). The work placement and the report are part of the core subjects.

The optional subjects are arranged in modules allowing students to select certain subjects from the different groupings while ensuring that they have at least 10 credits in each area.
