This exciting MSc, Master of Business Management, specialised in Human Resource Management, challenges students to study at a high academic standard, combining case studies and research. However, the degree programme also has a practical approach in its design - through project weeks, professional enquiry and a module of professional-based learning in which students complete a short work placement often linked directly to their final project.

The programme offers a combination master of business administration subjects and broader modules in economics and management. Through modules looking at global economics and strategic management, globalisation, society & culture, the programme will enable students to further develop their deeper knowledge of business management and administration.

The specialisation in Human Resource Management specifically looks at human resource management from a strategic perspective, and in combination with the concept that leadership plays an important role.

The HRM specialisation shows a clear link between organisational change, company development and the nurturing, management and embedding of international talent.

Career Prospects:

In recent years, the business community has come to recognise that success depends upon careful Human Resource Management (HRM), a strategic and comprehensive approach to the systematic management of people and the workplace culture and environment. Every manager is confronted with the challenge of keeping staff members motivated, involved, and productive despite any changes that might be taking place.

Graduating from a highly international institute such as Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences, which places high emphasis on a combination of academic research and company and professional exposure, means that the career prospects of graduates from the Master of Business Management specialising in Human Resources are multiple and global.

Often, WUAS graduates aspire to continue their studies with a DBA or a Ph.D. research degree; however, many students move directly into business, sometimes as a result of their work placement and their final project, which is often company-based.

Examples of companies where alumni work range from leading global banking, consultancy and insurance companies to more local specialised companies, NGOs or government agencies in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Western Europe.
