A Masters in Business Administration (MBA) is an internationally-recognised and highly-regarded award. Whether you are already in a management position and wanting to take your career to the next level, or aspire to leadership roles in the future, the York Business School Masters of Business Administration (MBA) in Strategic Human Resource Management and Leadership has been designed to help you gain the skills, knowledge and experience you need to give yourself that competitive edge. The programme provides you with the opportunity to gain a practitioner-focused MBA, laying the foundations for a critically aware and holistic understanding of business management, with a particular focus on strategic human resource management and leadership. This MBA combines an in-depth understanding of strategic human resource management (SHRM) with a broader exploration of its organisational and management context. Your knowledge will be integrated and contextualized through a range of modules, culminating in a capstone project.

You will explore issues that have significant impact within organisations by working with others and building on both personal individual experiences and comparing and contrasting with those of cohort members. You will carry out projects and assignments designed to help you apply the theories, tools and techniques you learn.
