MA/MS in Human Resource Management

This two-year master's builds the knowledge and skills needed to manage human capital at a professional level, combining core business courses with research-focused study in human resource management. Students learn to apply HR theory to real organisational problems, including labour shortages, skills gaps, and the balance between local and expatriate staffing that is a particular feature of Qatar's labour market. The program is recognised by the UK's Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, reflecting its alignment with international HR practice standards, and it is also designed as a possible route toward doctoral study in human resource management for graduates who want to continue into research. Qatar's own growth plans give the human resource management field particular weight here, since employers across the country are actively working through the same local-versus-expatriate staffing questions the program covers.
