There are countless reasons to study for a Master's degree at IU. Perhaps one of the most important is the fact that a Master's degree is required in more and more professional fields. After all, it is a synonym for your proven expertise in a field that you have personally defined. This is especially true if you want to do a doctorate and pursue an academic career. Another advantage of the Master's programme is that you can already get a taste of practical experience and broaden your horizons with valuable experience. This means that you will have a lot more arguments in your favour when it comes to vacancies than candidates who "only" have a Bachelor's degree. But you also benefit from attractive career prospects. You will not only be able to start your career at a significantly higher salary level. As a Master's graduate you will also take on responsible tasks in a managerial position much sooner. 

The Master's programme in Human Resources Development at the IU International University of Applied Sciences primarily expands your knowledge of Talent Management and the Human Resources Development of Employees and Managers. In addition, you have the choice between different modules in the areas of Leadership, Change Management and Organisational Development as well as Team Development. While you can further specialise in the areas of New Work, Ethics and Value Management. In this way, you will acquire the necessary expertise to be able to take on leadership tasks in the areas of HR Management, Business Psychology, Pedagogy or Human Resources Development in the future. 

Your IU degree prepares you above all for your work in the Business world. Whether it's developing Educational measures, Organising teams, Optimising processes or Coaching and Advising employees and managers. Your know-how as a graduate with a Master's degree in Human Resources Development is more than just in demand. Your career prospects are correspondingly good. The constant thematic connection between Organisational and Human Resources Development opens up countless opportunities for you to actively advance the holistic view of corporate change processes. Be it as a Human Resources Development Manager, as a Consultant or as an Organisational Development Manager.
