Human Resources can be an exciting, rewarding and challenging career that can take you anywhere in the world.
Highlights
To study a Masters in Human Resource Management at UON you will normally need to hold a recognised First or Second Class Honours degree from a UK University (or an international equivalent) in human resource management, or in a business related, commerce, management or related degree discipline.
In addition to the academic requirements, it would be an advantage for applicants to have had experience of working in a HR or a business management role for at least a year. This is because the MA explores HRM as a core business function and familiarisation with the world of work is very helpful.
In exceptional cases, where you do not hold a recognised business, commerce or related qualification but offer a strong application and /or evidence (ideally 2 years +) of working in HR, you may be invited to an informal telephone interview with the Programme Leader to assess your suitability for entry to the course. This does not guarantee the offer of a place but allows us to manage your expectations of what you will study and to consider whether you can meet the challenges of studying HRM at an advanced level without prior academic experience.
