MSc Human Resource Management: Grow Your Future from Ireland
Build the knowledge to help people and organisations thrive without putting your life in Ireland on hold. The MSc Human Resource Management is offered online by the University of Salford in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College. Its ideas and frameworks can be applied in organisations around the world, giving you room to think beyond borders as you plan your next step.
Earn an internationally recognised British degree
A British master’s degree can be a valuable addition to your professional profile. Awarded by the University of Salford, this qualification offers an internationally recognised credential while allowing you to continue living in Ireland.
As you study human resource management, you can develop ways of thinking about people, leadership and organisational challenges that travel across sectors and borders. It is an opportunity to pair an established degree with an international outlook.
Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year
You do not need to relocate or travel to a campus to complete the programme. Every part of your studies can be undertaken online, making it possible to pursue a master’s degree alongside your existing commitments in Ireland.
With a completion pathway of as little as one year, you can work towards your next qualification on an ambitious timeline. The online format helps you keep your career and personal goals in view while you study.
Study without scheduled online attendance
The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates. You can engage with your studies at times that suit your working hours, family responsibilities and other commitments.
That flexibility can be especially useful when plans change or your work takes you across time zones. You can organise your learning around your life while still making steady progress through the programme.
Take your learning wherever you go
Whether you are at home in Ireland, travelling for work or exploring somewhere new, you can study from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Your location need not determine where your education can take you.
For time on the move, the mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. You can prepare for a journey in advance and make useful study time out of moments away from your desk.
Put your understanding to work with open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you the opportunity to consult relevant materials as you develop your responses.
Open-book work encourages you to engage with ideas, evaluate information and communicate your reasoning. Those habits can be valuable when addressing the complex people-related questions organisations face.
Learn from faculty with wide-ranging academic backgrounds
Programme tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied academic experiences can bring different perspectives to your learning.
Studying with educators who have encountered diverse approaches to research and practice can broaden the questions you ask. It is a chance to deepen your understanding of human resource management in an international learning environment.
Join a community that reaches across borders
The online student base spans more than 130 countries. Learning alongside people with different professional and cultural experiences can help you consider how approaches to managing people may work in a range of organisational settings.
Alumni work for international organisations including DHL, Dell, Disney, Orange, Bosch, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the breadth of organisations represented in the wider graduate community.
Plan your investment with monthly instalments
The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 interest-free monthly instalments. This gives you a way to spread the cost of your studies over time.
A clear payment schedule can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments. You can consider your degree as part of a longer-term investment in the knowledge and direction you want for your career.
Explore possibilities across Ireland’s industries
Ireland’s technology sector brings together growing teams, international operations and rapidly changing skills needs. For graduates interested in people roles in this environment, an understanding of recruitment, development and organisational change can provide a useful foundation for contributing to workforce decisions.
Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology employers are also important parts of Ireland’s economy. These organisations depend on specialised talent and effective collaboration; studying human resource management can help you think more deeply about how people are supported, developed and led in complex workplaces.
In financial services and other internationally connected sectors, employers often work across functions, cultures and markets. The programme’s internationally applicable theory can help you examine how organisations build capable teams and respond to change—perspectives you can carry into conversations about your career in Ireland and beyond.
