MRes International Human Resource Management

This International Human Resource Management MRes is in an approved pathway for ESRC funding. You will be able to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both this MRes and a PhD. 

This comprehensive programme takes a close look at contemporary issues and best practice in human resource management. You will look beyond textbooks and management fads, and develop the ability to offer insightful analysis and facilitate creative thinking. 

You will choose from a broad range of modules to supplement your own research, offered in conjunction with the School's International Human Resource Management MSc. You could focus on international reward management, organisational behaviour, managing diversity, and other varied aspects of human resource management. This array of subjects will prepare you for a career in multinational business, or for a PhD. 

You will also cover core modules in research design, qualitative and quantitative methods.
