These methods require the mastery of a set of advanced and specific competencies that only advanced training can provide. Moreover, knowledge in the HRM area has been growing exponentially, establishing an even more competent body to support an autonomous professional activity, evidence-based and permanent updating. In short, this master’s aim is, according to IBS’s mission, to transmit and convey HRM-related scientific knowledge, pursuant to the highest international patterns, that provides economic, social and cultural value to society.
