Program
The Master's program in Human Resource Studies is an intensive one-year program of 60 ECTs.
During the first semester students will follow courses oriented towards Human Resource Management, Human Resource Development and Organization Strategy. These courses are intensive and require students to actively participate and prepare for lectures. You will follow lectures together with students from other Master's programs, but also with students from Human Resource Studies. You will work both individually and in groups to prepare papers, presentations and tutorials.
During the first semester you will also start writing your research proposal, which will form the basis of your Master's thesis. Your Master's thesis will be written by you individually during the second semester and can be considered a competence test in which you can show to what extent you are able to perform independent academic research. Your thesis should be written in the format of an academic article and will, in principle, be submitted to an academic journal for publication.
