Master in People and Change Management

Globalization, business innovations, digitalization, the aging and individualized workforce, changing demands and standards of employees, etc. The current working model is in constant change and poses major challenges for organizations, employees and society. The role of HR is gaining importance like never before. It has moved away from a supporting or administrative function to become much more of a game changer and enabler of the business strategy. Organizations expect HR specialists to be able to think strategically in order to tackle those challenges. Furthermore, the HR profession has an increasingly international character. The working domain spans over different countries. And even in a more local context successful implementation of HRM requires a global mindset. This Master in People and Change Management has a specific focus on Organizational Development (OD), the field of applied science focused on understanding and managing organizational change. The program prepares you for a career as junior HR/OD professional, HR/OD consultant, and (as you progress through your career) as HR or general manager or senior HR/OD expert. The program focuses on strategic, hands-on, data-driven, consulting and commercial aspects and thus goes beyond mere personnel management. With the international perspective we respond to the new trend of international HR and OD careers. The program aims to provide insights and tools that enable participants to serve the following two-fold ambition:

1. Happy, healthy & productive employees
2. Agile, healthy & sustainable organizations
