The Organisation Studies and Human Resource Management MPhil at the University of Portsmouth is designed for aspiring researchers keen to investigate the evolving dynamics of the workplace, from ethical governance and CSR in developing nations to the complexities of the employer-employee relationship. You will delve into critical areas such as gender equality in the public and creative sectors, and explore novel approaches to workforce management. This postgraduate research degree is ideal for those who wish to contribute impactful research that shapes organisational practices and structures in an increasingly globalised business environment.
This MPhil is studied full-time on campus over two years, offering you the opportunity to work alongside leading academics and submit your own research ideas or explore pre-approved projects. You will develop advanced research methodologies and analytical skills, potentially focusing on areas like the governmentalisation of CSR or responsive governance. Upon completion, you will graduate with a Masters by Research degree, prepared for further doctoral study or to pursue careers in academic research, policy analysis, or senior HR and organisational development roles.
