Human Resource Management - Aungier Street

What is Human Resource Management?

This new MSc in Human Resource Management level 9 course, located at Aungier Street, draws on the acknowledged excellence of the staff at TU Dublin in this disciplinary area. The course is offered by the School of Management, People and Organisations which has a close working and collaborative relationship with the key professional body, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD UK & Ireland) and the course is structured in line with CIPD professional requirements.
