Outline
This online programme offers a flexible way for those who have successfully completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management (or equivalent) and are keen to ‘top-up’ their existing qualification with a masters research report within a relatively short time frame of 6 months while working to the highest academic standards.
The Master of Science in Human Resources (Top-Up) will enable you to develop a range of research skills and enhance your professional competence in undertaking applied research that is based on an HR-based topic of significance and that can be of benefit to both yourself and your employer or the organisation you will have selected to conduct your research. Being rooted in the key principles of action research, it will develop your capability to effectively bridge the knowledge-practice gap and conduct research in human resource management that is connected to real work issues and underpinned by a wide range of business data, research resources and methodologies. As such, it is well suited to practitioner-learners and mature part-time students with a post graduate diploma (or equivalent) who are in a position to play a leading role in the diagnosis of HR-related challenges and in generating potential solutions based on such diagnosis.
This particular research approach will lead to the completion of a 15,000 word practice-based masters dissertation that is both theoretically-grounded, critically-reflective and geared towards practical action.
It is important early on to highlight the key concerns informing our research approach, which include:
