International Business and Human Resource Management MSc
Learn about human resource management, as well as the global movement of goods, business interactions, business relationships, processes and behaviours
This is a pathway of our International Business MSc course and is dual-accredited with CMI and CIPD.
This degree allows you to focus on human resources (HRM) as your specialism. Alongside the core international business modules, you will study HRM strategies, international HRM, behavioural insights for managers and the opportunity to cover such areas as strategic leadership and cross-cultural management.
From your core modules, you will learn to understand and analyse a range of international strategies and business relevant for the modern global economy. You will also engage with key areas such as global risk analysis, global financial markets, international trade and global investment.
You will study a core project module. As part of this, you can undertake a global internship, work on an independent project with an organisation, or work on your own project independently.
When you start you join the 2 week Foundation Programme where you will learn more about all of our business conversion degrees and their pathways. You will make your final module choices and establish which degree pathway is right for you and your career. At the same time, you will be building your network of friends who will support you socially and with your studies while here in Dundee. The network of friends you make will most likely carry on through your career. The Foundation Programme is designed to make your arrival in Dundee easy, and ensure you have the freedom to choose the degree that is right for you.
You will graduate with a degree in MSc International Business, and Human Resources Management and this degree title will be on your transcript.
