MSc Leadership and Human Resource Management with Professional Practice
This course is offered as a 2-year full-time business master’s programme. Sharing the first year of study with the 1-year MSc Leadership and Human Resource Management, the 2-year programme benefits from a second year of Professional Practice that is specifically aimed at fostering the employment opportunities of students.

Offering greater flexibility than a traditional Placement Year, our Professional Practice Year allows you to decide how to put your skills into practice. Choose between an academic dissertation, business plan, business or consultancy project, or a paid placement in industry, depending on the option that is best suited to your future career path.

This course is currently available at our Birmingham, London Moorgate and Manchester campuses, as well as online.*
