The Extended MSc International Business with Human Resource Management with Advanced Practice integrates the Graduate Certificate programme to allow entry for students with equivalent to a standard degree (third class, pass or ordinary) onto the MSc International Business with Human Resource Management (HRM) with Advanced Practice which incorporates a compulsory work internship or an applied consulting project.

The Graduate Certificate is a preparatory course that will provide students with a solid foundation in the skills needed for progression onto the MSc International Business with HRM stage.

Students, who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate stage with a minimum overall average mark of 50%, will be in a position to progress directly to the MSc International Business with HRM stage.

Successful completion of the eight taught modules of the MSc International Business with HRM will allow you to acquire mastery of both the macro and micro contexts of international business with a keener focus on a human resource management context.

Your final piece of work, either the Dissertation or Research Project, offers you the opportunity to investigate an area of human resource management relevant to international business. The Masters’ Dissertation option provides the opportunity to conceive, design and satisfactorily implement a substantial research project within the broad subject area of international business and HRM. The Applied Research Project option enables students to apply the theoretical concepts encountered on the MSc International Business with HRM programme and the practical experience gained from the Advanced Practice stage to a contemporary management issue.
