Course content

LSE's Human Resources and Organisations (HRO) programme combines HR expertise, specialist knowledge, and real-world experience to help you stand out in a competitive job market.

Tailor your degree to your ambitions by choosing one of the three specialist streams: Human Resources Management, International Employer Relations, or Organisational Behaviour.

Gain practical skills and connections through the Links Scheme - a consulting project with an external client - and shadowing opportunities with the department's employer partners. You'll graduate with both the insight and network to succeed.

Information for international students

LSE is an international community, home to students from over 140 countries. We celebrate this diversity through everything we do - in the classroom, through our events, and across our community.

Our 2024/25 MSc Human Resources and Organisations cohort brought together 143 students from 31 countries. Learning alongside such a diverse, global group will help you develop cross-cultural management skills and build an international network that lasts well beyond graduation.

The Department of Management hosts a lively calendar of events to help you feel at home - from student balls and day trips to chill-out socials and sports sessions.

London is one of the most diverse cities in the world and home to over 127,000 international students, offering endless opportunities to connect and explore.

Fees and funding

The School recognises that the cost of living in London may be higher than in your home town or country, and we provide generous scholarships each year to home and overseas students.

This programme is eligible for needs-based awards from LSE, including the Graduate Support Scheme, Master's Awards, and Anniversary Scholarships.

Selection for any funding opportunity is based on receipt of an application for a place – including all ancillary documents, before the funding deadline.

In addition to our needs-based awards, LSE also makes available scholarships for students from specific regions of the world and awards for students studying specific subject areas.
