Program Overview

Program Description:

Our course, MSc Organisational Studies and Human Resource Management, allows you to acquire a thorough understanding of the nature and role of organisations and the management of people at work. Our emphasis is on an international perspective of leadership and the management of human resources, and on social and ethical criteria that foster the sustainability of entrepreneurship, organisational structures and processes, collaboration, learning, and innovation. Central to our course is an examination of the evolution of organisations through their people, and the management of organisational content and processes in varying international environments. Our Essex Business School has an international reputation for cutting-edge research in accounting, finance, management and entrepreneurship. This was confirmed when we were ranked second in the UK for accounting and finance research, with 95 percent of our research graded as of international quality. Our work is informed by a broad range of social science theories and concepts, much of it addressing the important issues currently being faced by commercial businesses, public sector bodies and not-for-profit organisations. We are recognised for being at the forefront of research in: business ethics and corporate social responsibility; organisation studies; leadership and strategy; finance and banking; risk management; and international management. Many of our academic staff have world class research reputations and have written about, or worked, in, a wide range of organisations and this experience is incorporated into your learning experience within our School.
