About the course
Our CIPD-accredited Human Resource Management MSc provides you with the knowledge and confidence to take the lead in people management.
Many say people are a company’s greatest asset and this course will fine-tune and develop your ability to motivate and manage employees proactively, in just about any setting. Not only will you learn a sound understanding of general management practices but an even deeper knowledge of resourcing and motivating staff and in turn leveraging morale, inclusion and the hard work that feeds into a successful business.
Entry Requirements
A minimum of a second-class UK degree, or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification in a variety of subject areas is accepted, but we encourage particularly applicants from the social sciences and humanities.
All applicants are considered on an individual basis and additional qualifications, professional qualifications and relevant experience may also be taken into account when considering applications.

Student Profile(s)
Nancy Ugwunze
What attracted you to Kent?
I am originally from Nigeria and chose Kent on recommendation from a relative who had studied at the University and spoke highly of the standard of education here. Canterbury is also conveniently located close to London where I have family.
What have you particularly enjoyed?
The course is challenging but varied and all the modules have been interesting and meaningful. I feel that I have learnt a lot. The lecturers encourage you to be critical in your thinking and come up with your own ideas while the seminar sessions allow you to share your knowledge and lead the discussions.
What about your employment prospects?
I want to get a job as a human resource practitioner once I graduate and this course will definitely boost my employability. I have gained so many new skills during my studies. Human resources is a very versatile area - every organisation needs a human resource management department, irrespective of size or sector, so you have the opportunity to work almost anywhere.

Kent Business School is pleased to offer a range of hardship bursaries to UK and International postgraduate taught students who require financial support in order to undertake and complete their master's studies.
KBS Bursaries are awarded on the grounds of financial hardship and in order for us to offer such a bursary there needs to be reference to this within the application essay. For example, some of our students are parents (especially single parents) or mature students with heavy financial commitments. Some students may be registered with a disability and further funding will contribute towards the costs of studying and/or living, whereas others may be from a low-income family and find they need to raise funds themselves. Some may find that even with working part-time (which can put a strain on studies) they simply cannot raise the funds needed.

To be eligible candidates must:
