Master of Human Resource Management

The Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) program 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 program and building sets of skills they can apply in practice. Since today’s organizations operate in a dynamic and complex environment with varying structures and cultures, the MHRM program will equip students with the knowledge and leadership skills needed to face human resource challenges and meet the strategic needs of the business.

Upon completion of the program, graduates are awarded dual certificates: MHRM certificate from Sunway University and postgraduate-level Advanced Diploma in Human Resource Management from the CIPD. Graduates also upgrade their status to Associate Membership of CIPD and use the designatory letters ‘Assoc CIPD’ after their name which demonstrates that they have attained a recognized level of professional competence as an HR practitioner.
