MBA – HR Management

Basic information

The MBA in Human Resource Management is a postgraduate programme aimed at imparting the knowledge and skills needed to manage people in an organisation.

The program aims to educate students in the field of human resources who are competent to manage the imperative role of human resources in public and private companies, organizations and enterprises. In this program, students learn to plan, organize and manage different things through various activities, projects and case studies. In addition, they also study organizational psychology and workplace learning.

Students are introduced to human resource management, HR processes and activities of an organization, and trends in organizational HR management. The program introduces students to information about the problems of human resource management in an organization, its importance, methods, systems and includes all the important subjects of personnel management separately.

In addition to acquiring theoretical knowledge, the program helps students to develop good communication skills which further help them to maintain good human relations in the workplace. The concepts that students learn during this program make them ideal candidates for a career in human resource management.

Program structure

Human resource management is a central function of any organisation. Generally, 50 percent or more of an organization’s operating budget is used to pay the salaries of the people who work there. The general objective of the curriculum is therefore to introduce students to the basic principles and techniques of human resource management. The individual courses are based on a practical perspective that combines the contribution of behavioural sciences with the technical aspects of implementing the human resource function in the “real world”.

Thus, a basic understanding of human resource management is essential whether the student works in government, financial services, a hospital, a high-tech industry, a retail store, an educational institution, or any other type of organization. The main objective of this program is to demonstrate that human resource management is more than just receiving job applications and maintaining records; it is a central and strategic organizational activity that is increasingly complex and important.

These broad aims can be more accurately defined by examining the specific objectives of the programme of study. Thus, upon completion, the student will be able to appreciate the importance of human resource management as a field of study and as a central managerial function; understand the implications of behavioral science, government regulations, and court decisions for human resource management; be familiar with the elements of the personnel function (e.g., recruitment, selection, training and development, etc.) and know the key concepts and terminology of each element; and apply the principles and techniques of human resource management learned in this course to the discussion of major personnel issues and the solution of typical case problems.
