Programme Outline
The goal of this master is to develop, train and coach the participants in their specialisation in human resources management. The programme trains HR professionals who will, in the long term, occupy managerial positions.
In order to achieve this objective, the programme aims:
- To provide participants with solid theoretical frameworks in the fields which underlie HRM in order to allow them to anticipate and to develop a transversal and strategic vision.
- To develop the capacity for critical analysis of the practices implemented within a company in order to develop operational skills, pragmatism, and a permanent quest for improvement.
- To enhance students’ personal development and to develop their managerial potential.
- To improve organisational performance and satisfy company strategy while taking employees’ needs into account.
- To have the strategic, organisational, practical and personal skills needed to become successful HR managers.
Why Choose This Programme?
The MSc uses a project-based pedagogical approach, with some students alternating in-company experience and studies and others working on consultancy projects for partner companies.
The programme focuses particularly on the personal development of participants and their values in order to prepare them for a responsible and meaningful career in
management.
- Strong links with professional and academic bodies in HRM (Association francophone de Gestion des Ressources Humaines (AGRH), Institut d’Audit Social (IAS), Association pour le Développement de l’Enseignement et de la Recherche sur la Responsabilité Sociale de l’Entreprise (ADERSE); le Réseau International de Recherche sur les Organisations et de Développement Durable (RIODD), Association Nationale des Ressources Humaines (ANDRH) …).
- The programme addresses international aspects of human resources management.
