Master of Human Resource Management

Overview

The Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) programme is designed in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the world’s largest Chartered HR and development body, for aspiring managers and professionals with the ambition to become strategic leaders and human resource managers.

Students will be acquiring expertise not only through knowledge of contemporary human resource management theories, concepts and tools but will also be working in a team throughout the programme and building sets of skills they can apply in practice.

Student Testimonials

  • Raymond Tang Yong King

    I am truly grateful to study Masters of Human Resource Management under Sunway University.

    As an individual with no HRM background, I gained a deep understanding of how a functional and successful HRM system can add value to organizations. This Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) -accredited course offers a wide range of modules (e.g. Developing Skill for Business Leadership, Legal Aspects of Industrial Relations) which are extremely useful for an individual to gain insights on how HRM operates in the real world. Despite spending most of the lesson on virtual platform due to the pandemic, I still had an amazing time interacting and working with my classmates on various group projects. Additionally, the lecturers equipped us with the relevant knowledge of the industry and how we can tackle HRM challenges faced in a globalized world. For those who are interested in HRM, I would highly recommend you to apply for this course as you would learn a lot.

    Human Resource Management – A Humane Touch at Work

    When I began my academic journey, I chose to become a Sunwayian. Upon completing my master's degree, I can proudly say it was the right choice. My overall campus experience was fun and inspiring despite stressful academic challenges. Sunway University provides a safe and exciting space for students to learn and have fun with its state-of-the-art facilities. Parents need not worry about their children’s adaptation to university life. Experienced and proficient teaching professionals help students academically, while counselling services are available to ensure students’ mental wellness. Even healthcare services are provided to support students’ health-related needs. Moreover, many social and community amenities are located nearby and connected to the campus.  These are all reachable within 15 minutes via the “canopy walk”.
