MSc Human Resource Management from Lubumbashi, Congo, Democratic Republic of the
Build the skills to help people and organisations thrive without putting your life in Lubumbashi on hold. The MSc Human Resource Management is delivered online by the University of Salford in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College. Its ideas and approaches can be applied across industries and international settings, giving you room to think about where your career could go next.
Earn a British degree with international recognition
A British master’s degree can be a valuable credential when your ambitions extend beyond one city or country. Graduating from the University of Salford gives you a qualification that is recognised internationally.
For an HR professional in Lubumbashi, that international perspective can be especially useful when working with colleagues, employers or partners across borders. You can develop your expertise while earning a degree that speaks to a wider professional world.
Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year
You can study the programme entirely online, without relocating or leaving your current commitments behind. Depending on your pace of study, it can be completed in as little as one year.
That flexibility lets you make progress towards a master’s degree while continuing to build experience at work. Rather than waiting for the perfect time to move abroad, you can begin working towards your next goal from where you are now.
Study without fixed online attendance times
The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates. You can plan your study around your responsibilities instead of rearranging every working day to attend live classes.
Whether you prefer to read early in the morning or focus after work, you can create a routine that suits you. This freedom can make sustained postgraduate study more manageable when your schedule changes from week to week.
Keep learning wherever you go
Your studies can travel with you, whether you are at home in Lubumbashi, working elsewhere or on the move. The mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline, so you can use suitable moments even when you do not have an internet connection.
This portability helps turn travel time and changes of location into opportunities to keep learning. Your education does not have to depend on staying in one place.
Apply your knowledge through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you the opportunity to work with the ideas and resources you have studied as you develop your responses.
For human resource management, that approach encourages you to connect theory with decisions about people and organisations. It offers a way to demonstrate thoughtful analysis, not simply recall information under exam conditions.
Learn from faculty with exceptional academic backgrounds
Tutors and faculty bring academic experience shaped by world-renowned institutions, with graduates of universities including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis among them.
Learning from people with varied academic backgrounds can broaden the questions you ask and the perspectives you bring to HR challenges. Their guidance can help you engage with ideas that are relevant well beyond a single workplace or market.
Join a truly international learning community
Study alongside a diverse student base drawn from more than 130 countries. Conversations with people who bring different professional and cultural experiences can deepen your understanding of how organisations approach shared challenges.
Alumni work for international organisations including DHL, Dell, Disney, Orange, Bosch, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Nestle, Unilever, Daimler, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths show the breadth of organisations in which members of this international community have built careers.
Plan your payments with interest-free instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments across a planned schedule can make it easier to fit postgraduate study into your budget.
With a clearer view of when payments are due, you can focus on preparing for the work and opportunities ahead. It is a practical option for professionals who want to keep moving towards a long-term goal.
Bring new possibilities to your career in Lubumbashi
Lubumbashi is a major centre for the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s mining industry. Mining operations and the businesses that support them need people who can think carefully about workforce planning, employee development and organisational change. An MSc in Human Resource Management can help you approach those challenges with a stronger foundation in HR theory.
The city’s links to transport, logistics and supply chains also create people-management challenges: coordinating teams, developing managers and supporting employees across different functions. The programme’s internationally applicable ideas can help you consider how to build effective teams in complex, connected organisations.
Beyond mining and logistics, Lubumbashi’s commercial and service activities depend on attracting, developing and retaining talent. Whether you hope to grow within an employer, move into a broader HR role or help an organisation strengthen its people practices, this degree can give you new perspectives to bring to your work.
