Starting from prior texts and cases provided for each session, the speakers develop a conceptual basis and, through the case method, convey their thoughts and management experiences as a source of knowledge for the participants.
01.
Real and practical objectives
The contents are taught by professional experts in the HR sector, who guarantee a faithful focus on the working reality of the moment.
02.
Case studies
You will acquire knowledge in a practical way, studying, analysing, and debating practical cases from real companies.
03.
Learning techniques
You will learn using techniques such as contrasting ideas, simulations, role-playing games, and work presentations, among others.
04.
Personalized help
We will assign you a mentor according to the characteristics of your Project. The mentor will act as a guide and challenge your thinking and ideas. They will also help you identify teachers, projects, companies, and reference activities in HR with which to contrast and enrich your project.
Evaluation
In order to pass the Master in Human Resources Management, you must successfully present the established work in front of the Program Management and the other participants. In addition, there will be continuous evaluation through questionnaires at the end of the subjects that allows the learning progress of the participants to be checked.
As it is an on-campus program, a minimum attendance of 80% of the total established teaching time is mandatory.
Master's Final Project: the program includes an individual project that is worked on throughout the course. The project:
- must respond to a professional challenge connected to reality. It can address any problem, opportunity or initiative that is of interest to the student
- connects the theory learned in class with professional practice
- constitutes an opportunity for interaction, debate, contrast of ideas, and peer learning
Tools
The On-Campus&Live methodology allows you to follow the program in person and also remotely.
In this modality, two stable subgroups are opened that will coexist throughout the course: one face-to-face and the other with 100% remote students. The remote students (a maximum of 15 places per course) will follow the program in a synchronous way with the face-to-face students. That is, they will share the same school calendar and schedule as the face-to-face students.
Project-oriented learning and the combination of lectures and active methodologies such as case studies, flipped learning, solving real problems, and professional simulations allow the student to connect theory and practice, acquire advanced skills, and achieve learning which is transferable to the job. The face-to-face modality is enriched with elements of online programs (virtual learning environment, multimedia resources, among others) so that the learning experience of the two subgroups is equally satisfactory.
You will have:
- Master's or postgraduate work to learn by doing
- A personal mentor to monitor your Master's Final Project (TFM) or Postgraduate Final Project (TFP)
- Digital resources to achieve transversal skills
- Interdisciplinary activities and workshops
- Digital resources and audiovisual blocks for online learning
- Active methodologies for transferable learning
