MBA: Human Resource Management

Study one Program, gain two degrees. Richmond uniquely awards a UK and US qualification for all graduates, including MBA students.

All of our MBA students follow the same Program initially, which begins in the first semester with a thorough study of financial management, business economics and explores how to manage both organisations and people. In the second semester you'll move on to examine the principles of strategic management, how to implement global marketing strategies and conduct business research.

Also, you will have the opportunity to specialise in a human resource topic of your choice. It could be Leading, Mentoring and Coaching or Human Resource Management. Either way, your people management skills will be enhanced considerably, opening up career opportunities.

You'll then be able to choose a human resource topic for your professional project, with or without an internship.

The MBA faculty team at Richmond, which includes both academics and experienced industry professionals, is collaborative and supportive. They practice the latest teaching methods which stimulate critical thinking and creativity and encourage you to explore boundaries in your thinking and actions.

Learning alongside an international cohort of students will also enable you to share fresh perspectives on similar problems and build lasting business networks.
