Hello aspirant, 

  • An MBA degree offers general business skills that can get you ahead in any area, while the MS-HRM is more appropriate for someone with a foundational business background who wants to focus more deeply on human resource management. The degree you choose depends on your career goals.
  • The difference is very fundamental. An MBA gives one a thorough grounding in all aspects of the business profession. You will concentrate in a particular area, but will still be required to take a certain number of core courses in finance, economics, accounting, marketing, MIS, and management. Electives will be used for your concentration.
  • In the MS in HRM degree you will spend all your time on the principles of HR, from org design, to training, to everything else the HR profession covers. Are you a business major? If not, you will be required to take leveling courses to get you up to speed.
  • If your undergraduate degree is in management or HR, the MBA would do you a world of good. If you are getting a degree in something else it may be best for you to pursue the HRM degree and after working for a while go back for the MBA. 

Hope this helps!!

Hello,

MSc in International Human Resource Management has a broader outlook than MBA in HR.Deals with major aspects of human resource mangement not included in the curriculum of MBA in HR.It deals with the real world HR issues and topics.It provides skills and knowledge to individual leaders dealing in global organisations.

Now it totally depends upon you and your decision.Majority of the colleges and universities providing the programme are in abroad.Also the course is quite expensive,but there are placements with handsome salary packages.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
