About this Course
This is an Accredited Course by the Malta Further & Higher Education Authority (MFHEA), at MQF/EQF Level 6.
As organisations are becoming increasingly complex, the role of human resource management has never been more vital. In this degree, you’ll study the relationship between employers and employees, making links between theory and practice, all without having to take a break from your career.
Over the course of the programme you take a focus on the theoretical basis behind the science of human resource management. You’ll be able to demonstrate how an understanding of the issues involved in human resource management can assist the human resource manager in managing staff effectively as well as discussing how effective employee development can impact upon an organisations performance.
Throughout your modules you’ll assess the theory and practice of management considering the importance of leadership and the HRM function. As you progress you will build upon the theories and topics covered while moving towards an in-depth focus on some of the key issues within human resource management, human development and organisational behaviour. In your dissertation you will bring together all your learning to produce an in-depth piece of research, supported by the formative training completed throughout the programme in research methods and academic writing skills to support your studies. You will also have the benefit of being able to apply real-world examples to your learning.

- Understand the key principles of high-performance working and critically review the links between performance and HRM practices.
