This new MSc in Human Resource Management level 9 course, located at Aungier Street, draws on the acknowledged excellence of the staff at TU Dublin in this disciplinary area.

This course fully accredited by CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development).
The philosophy of the programme is to help people see the big picture in terms of viewing the world in a more sustainable, strategic context and making evidence-based decisions that drive continuous improvement in your organisation by compiling results and celebrating them accordingly. The programme also believes that future HR specialists and the wider management community need to embrace and practice the concept of a manager as a coach that allows all learners and employees the opportunity to reflect and create time for continuous improvement.
