The International Human Resource Management MSc considers the international dimension and implications of all core Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and their impact on core business functions, including the complexities of managing people across multiple countries, legislative frameworks and cultures, management of expat staff and workforce diversity.
Developed by experts at the University of Liverpool’s AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS accredited Management School, the curriculum blends core HRM skills such as managing performance, learning and development and managing change and conflict, with core business skills.
