Competences developed

The Master's degree in human resources management aims to give students conceptual and operational skills in the field of human resources management. The programme trains professionals capable of analysing the working of organisations critically and constructively, and establishing a human resources policy adapted to their specific characteristics.

Upon completion of the programme, graduates will have acquired both general knowledge of human resources management and the analytical skills required to use this knowledge in the context of the development of society and the company.

Curriculum

The MA in Human Resources Management combines several teaching methods.
In addition to the subjects taught in the traditional way, the programme includes periods of immersion in organisations, thematic seminars and a residential seminar. Based on empirical and analytical approach, the master's programme aims to train human resource management professionals by giving students the foundations required for management, understanding of operational dynamics, and group and project leadership.

Emphasis is placed on the development of critical analysis capacities, the acquisition and testing of HRM techniques and a practical assignment in a company/. The skills acquired through this experience will be useful to achieve the thesis.

Specific features

Compared to other HRM programmes, the MA in Human Resources Management places the discipline in a critical perspective covering both the organisational context (the development of organisations) and the societal context (evolution of society). It strives to train professionals capable of applying HRM tools in a reasonable way.

In the course of the degree programme, students are put to the test with case studies in companies and organisations of all kinds (private, public, NGOs, etc.).

A unique feature of this programme is the obligation for students to carry out an assignment in a company, which obliges them to become part of a team and develop their relational skills and critical and independent thinking. The assignment is carried out in small groups, giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practical organisational contexts.
