Our Masters programme is designed for experienced training, skills, human resources and industrial relations professionals who want to enhance their understanding of how training and HRM processes work, and how they can be made to work more effectively through the critique and application of current theories, concepts and debates. Studying this programme will give you access to contemporary research knowledge in these fields, helping you to consider how this can inform and enhance your own practice. The programme is made up of three different courses, covering different specialisations and topics within the broad fields of human resources, skills, training and industrial relations. Research methods training is integral to this programme, equipping experienced practitioners with social research skills that can be applied in the workplace or in consultancy.
