M.A. in Human Resource
What will you learn?
The master’s degree in Human Resources covers a variety of practical and knowledge areas required of practitioners in the field of Human Resources or in related fields. As such, the program is designed for those interested in expanding and deepening their knowledge and professional skills, and for those who wish to advance professionally in the workplace, integrate into large organizations, and obtain senior staff positions in management.
The program combines unique and up-to-date courses that cover management challenges faced by human resource managers. The curriculum provides up-to-date theoretical, professional, and applied knowledge in the field of human resources and offers a combination of field practicums and advanced academic research opportunities, with the goal of enriching the professional knowledge and skills of its students.
During your studies you will be exposed to advanced theoretical courses that combine recent research and current theoretical models (e.g., a course about the new post-Corona working environment, or a course in the strategic management of human resources). You will participate in applied workshops (e.g., developing skills in management and leadership; human resources as a motivation for innovation; or utilization of various developments of Excel software, through which the human capital in the organization can be managed), and you will be exposed to topics relevant to the current working environment (e.g., human resources management of older employees; or marketing to human resources managers). Additionally, interested students will be able to participate in a practicum, which will guide and train them in the performance of organizational development processes.
