Why this course?
The effective management of employees in the private and public sectors is key to the future success of the Omani economy.
Oman is experiencing rapid transformation in its workforce, driven by technological and generational change and necessitated by policies designed to increase the presence of Omanis at all levels in the workplace.
The purpose of the MSc in Managing Human Resources is to provide HR professionals and those seeking to work in this area with the tools to operate effectively within this fast-changing environment.
This course offers you an opportunity to study organisations and the management of work in depth.
In studying the management of people, you will engage with contemporary ideas and arguments about Human Resource Management and International Human Resource Management within organisations.
This will be further contextualised to the particular challenges facing HR professionals in Oman and the wider region.
