Societies, labour markets and work are in transformation influenced by globalisation and internationalisation, digitalisation and AI, green transition and growing social inequalities. It increases the expectations on organisations in all societal sectors in terms of sustainability, responsibility and demands for innovation and new ways of thinking. This program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and methods needed to address a transforming labour market.
The Master’s programme will develop your knowledge of social sustainability, innovation and change processes in organisations and the unique role HR can fill to support this work. The HR profession needs tools to implement, develop and evaluate strategies to meet the changes taking place in organisations, working life and society, both at national and international level. Creativity and problem solving are central to strategic HR-driven development work that supports social sustainability and innovations.
Knowledge of management and governance for different forms of change is necessary in a society undergoing digitalised transformation where AI plays an increasingly important role. The programme will give you in depth knowledge of learning and skills development, collective learning processes, communication and data-driven evaluation and analysis, as these are central to meet a labour market in transformation and changing demands on organisations and companies.
The programme leads to a master’s degree in Human Resources with a major in Psychology or Sociology. The Master’s programme also provides eligibility for further studies at post-graduate level in psychology and sociology.
