Dissertation (Human Resource Management)

Module code: MN3202

Dissertation is your opportunity to tailor your learning into an area of HRM that you find fascinating and want to know more about. Alternatively, it could be a possibility for you to develop expertise in an area you want to find employment in or perhaps you want to develop your academic research skills because you want to go on to postgraduate studies. Whatever your reasons, your module leader, together with your supervisor is available to guide you on what the School requires you to do to successfully complete this module.

This module is both interesting and challenging because you should try to find an area to study that extends your current understanding of HRM rather than simply repeating an area you already know fairly well. This module therefore requires you to identify a valid research topic, formulate research questions, write a literature review, access, retrieve and organise research material, develop an independent critical perspective, conduct and sustain an argument in a coherent and lucid fashion, and finally, present all this in a properly referenced, well-structured dissertation that you can be proud to call your own work. As part of the process, you are allocated an academic supervisor to guide you in the development of your research and dissertation writing.
