Businesses recognise that human resource management (HRM) is pivotal in driving employee engagement and attracting top talent. With our MA programme youll gain a robust foundation in theory and practice, preparing you to achieve success in roles such as HR manager, talent development specialist or employee relations consultant.

Aligned with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) standards, our programme establishes a solid foundation in HR theories, practices, and professional skills. Youll study core themes such as employment relationships, contemporary issues in the sector, and the external factors shaping HRM. Youll analyse the management of geographically dispersed teams, examine the role of culture in international HRM, and explore the employee lifecycle framework, focusing on talent management, performance, retention, remote working, and work-life balance. Essential leadership and professional skills will be developed, identifying different leadership styles and aligning with the CIPD Profession Map.

Central to this programme is a strong focus on advancing your professional development and providing practical industry engagement opportunities, strategically enhancing your employability. Youll connect with experienced professionals, gain insights into the latest trends in your chosen field and have the opportunity to work directly with an organisation to develop solutions for a current business issue, gaining valuable real-world skills.

Our programme provides the flexibility to align your studies to your career aspirations through a core Professional Project. You can choose to undertake a research project, consultancy project, or a strategic business proposal.

Sustainability, ethics and responsible business practices are embedded throughout and by completing Keele Business Schools Sustainability Passport youll demonstrate your ability to incorporate sustainability practices in a professional context.

Located in an innovation park that fosters collaboration between academia and industry, Keeles campus offers a supportive learning environment designed to prepare you to excel in the dynamic world of global business.
