Master of Science in Management with Human Resources

The nature of work and people management across the globe is constantly evolving. Now more than ever before, people are recognised as being the most highly prized asset in any company, and successful organisations are now committed to the well-being and retention of highly motivated employees. The Global College Malta MSc in Management with Human Resources explores the management of people from a social, cultural, and political point of view, while at the same time developing your senior-level management skills and encouraging creative thinking.

Human resource management is more than just managing the relationship between professional development and productivity. Human resource professionals today require skills in critical thinking and problem solving and working in collaborative and inclusive ways to address the significant organisational challenges of our time. Effective human resources management in the modern world is about supporting senior and line managers to facilitate the well-being of their employees and helping them achieve both personal and overall business objectives.

The MSc in Management with Human Resources accordingly explores a broad range of human resources topics, including team development, resource planning, and employee relations. You will develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding to become a successful leader and practitioner in this increasingly complex business function. Crucially, you will learn how to address practical human resource issues in innovative and sustainable way, while considering the ethical obligations of the human resource practitioner.

Our strong emphasis on your personal and leadership development will be supported by regular sessions to develop your skills in a wide range of areas from communication and negotiation to team-building and leadership.

The course is studied on a full-time basis over a period of one year.
