Human Resource Management: a new specialisation in our Executive MBA programme
Responding to today’s demand for well-educated HR professionals and managers able to effectively manage the human capital in order to achieve maximum performance, our Executive MBA recently launched a new specialisation: the MBA in Human Resource Management (HRM). While maintaining all the advantages and features of our MBA programme, the HRM specialisation also provides students the opportunity to gain deeper understanding of this increasingly important field of management, through a curriculum enriched with contemporary HR-related theory and practice. The MBA with specialisation in Human Resource Management is an internationally recognised qualification and has been designed to develop an up-to-date understanding of current thinking in the business field and in the HRM discipline specifically. As such, it provides a unique forum for analysing and communicating the latest thinking in both professional practice and in the academic arena. The new specialisation has been designed for those currently working in junior or senior HR positions as well as those interested in pursuing a HR career. The new HRM specialisation is the sixth specialisation available in our Executive MBA programme – in addition to Marketing, General Management, Logistics, Finance and Healthcare Management – and will start running in the academic year 2015-16 in all cities where the programme is currently offered (i.e. Thessaloniki, Belgrade, Bucharest, Kyiv and Sofia).
