Lok Jack GSB MHRM Brochure (2MB)

Welcome

Congratulations on your decision to continue your education in management. In today's highly competitive business environment, the roles and responsibilities of human resource professionals have become increasingly critical to corporate success. Human Resource Management (HRM) professionals must understand human resource issues and management trends in a competitive global economy as well as a broad spectrum of state and federal employment legislation.

The Master of Human Resource Management Programme (MHRM) is offered in an accelerated executive format for working professionals and is specifically customized to equip human resource managers with the tools necessary to effectively meet the challenges of an ever-changing business climate.

This 2 year programme is designed to enhance the skills of individuals in the profession as well as those interested in pursuing a career in HRM. The curriculum provides advanced education in organizational behavior and dynamics, staffing, training, compensation, benefits, career development, health and safety, and labor relations. Legal and regulatory requirements in these areas create a need for a firm foundation in employment law, a need that is met through a course dedicated to the topic.
MRHM students will go through the entire programme together as a cohort class. The cohort structure provides an excellent forum for networking and sharing experiences while fostering a collaborative learning environment.

Thanks again for considering Lok Jack GSB for your graduate education.

Why an Lok Jack GSB's MHRM?

This degree is aimed directly at practising human resource management professionals and line managers responsible for human resource management functions. The degree has been designed to achieve two broad objectives. First, to provide for the knowledge and skill development in graduates that would permit career advancement to senior and executive roles in human resources management within both private and public sector organisations. Secondly, to provide a broad range of Human Resource Management subjects that would allow graduates, who are not seeking a long-term career in human resource management, to enhance human resource management professional practice in and across organisational settings.

The programme also seeks to integrate various specialisations within the field of human resource management into a broad Human Resource Management framework. The design of the programme recognises the barriers that once existed between specialists in training and development, industrial relations, staffing, and organisational development are quickly disappearing, if not already disappeared.
