“The HRM programme is an exciting challenge that covers all aspects of human resources. It is great to receive expert guidance from thesis supervisors who are true specialists in their field.

It is worth 60 credits and takes one year to complete.

Employee commitment and development, or the extent to which employees feel committed to their employer, to their own performance and to the development of their own job-related knowledge and skills (this topic is discussed in the Careers & Organizations course). 2. Managing and controlling performance, or the HRMrelated models and tools involved in measuring and managing employee performance in organizations (this is the focus of the Performance Management & Control course). 3. Managing organizational diversity, which is an issue many of today’s employers and employees are dealing with (the Diversity in Organizations course focuses on this contemporary HRM theme). Another important element of this study programme is the Master’s thesis, which enables you to apply what you have learned about HRM (and Business Administration in general) to an empirical study of an HRM-related business issue. Your thesis will be a true research project for which you will collect quantitative and/or qualitative data in order to help you answer your research question on a Human Resource Management topic.
