Course content

What you will study on the MProf Human Resource Practice?

The MProf Human Resource Practice is a reflective and explorative form of study that first reviews your experience in the field before focusing on research methodology and finally a major workplace-based project using the techniques you have learnt.

It is divided into three phases with flexibility to complete each phase in a timeframe that works with and around your professional commitments and individual ambitions for each stage.

Stages

Phase 1 – Review (approximately 6 months)

The first phase of this course features a review of your personal and professional learning, research competence and professional capability.

Phase 2 – Planning a Practitioner Research Programme (approximately 6 months)

The second phase of this course involves the study of research methodology and exploring methods which are appropriate to workplace research. By the end of Phase 2 you will have prepared a detailed research proposal for implementation.

Phase 3 – Professional Practice Project (minimum of 12 months)

The final phase of this course allows you to demonstrate your research capability in a professional context by undertaking a major workplace-based project related to organisational change and/or professional development. You’ll interrogate the learning you are achieving in your workplace, and express this in writing that is both informed by and informs relevant theory.

The findings of your research will prove valuable to you as an individual by giving you greater knowledge of your field and more advanced skills as an HR manager, both of which will feed into your day-to-day work productivity and career prospects. Your research will also be of value to your organisation which will benefit from your in-depth study of ways in which it is conducting its HR practice and suggestions for ways in which it could improve and evolve this discipline in the future.

You can find more information about this course in the programme specification. Optional modules are not offered on every course.
