    Course Summary

    No company can really succeed without high quality, well organised and highly motivated people. Human resource managers ensure that businesses all around the world are able to attract, train, support and retain the best people, as well as making sure that the organisation itself meets or exceeds the various operational, legal, ethical and cultural standards by which today’s businesses are judged.

    Glasgow Caledonian University’s MSc in Human Resource Management gives you more than a technical understanding of the role. It gives you a truly global outlook on the practice and on what it means to provide effective leadership in a wide range of different organisations.

    This course also conveys a wide range of ‘general employability’ skills which will make you more competitive as a job applicant. In addition to a strong focus on corporate responsibility and sustainability, these will include basic business skills, problem solving, team work, communication and research methods.

Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
