This course uniquely integrates professional, CIPD-accredited HR education with in-depth learning in AI, data analytics, and computing.

Students will gain the confidence to use AI tools selectively and strategically alongside human-centred HR practice, future-proofing their careers while ensuring technology enhances people-focused decision-making.

This programme also offers the option for a placement.

The Business School is AACSB accredited, making it one of the top 6% of business schools globally - and Edinburgh Napier is also CIPD accredited as a University.  

This course will equip graduates to confidently combine human resource expertise with AI, data analytics, and computing skills to operate effectively in technology-driven workplaces.

Graduates will be able to make informed, ethical, and strategic people management decisions, enhance workforce and talent initiatives, and future-proof their HR careers in a rapidly changing world. 

A strong focus on both theory to practice and reflective practice is integrated into programme workshops. 

Our professional accreditation aligns with the employability agenda of developing professional highly skilled students. You will learn techniques and strategies that will enable you to critically reflect on your workplace experiences and create your own on-going programme of professional development. 

We pride ourselves on our strong integration of knowledge into practice and therefore throughout our workshops we integrate practical considerations, facilitated via reflective practice. We also offer a voluntary placement, in the Human Resource department (or equivalent) of an organisation, undertaken alongside and integrated within the programme of study. This is a highly beneficial opportunity for a variety of reasons, and is especially useful for those who do not have any relevant HR employment experience. This opportunity facilitates the development of employability skills, and reflective practice whilst providing access to organisational practice along with a primary data research source.

For the research element of the MSc HRM programme a 'problem-based learning' approach will be utilised and will help to ensure projects have the potential to add real and immediate value in your current workplace or placement organisation. Integrating reflective practice within this research process will facilitate your learning and development. Moreover, you are encouraged to reflect on your own CV when deciding upon a research focus, in terms of your future career direction and employment prospects.
