The underlying theme of the MHCM programme is about proper alignment: the need to align human capital with business strategy. The curriculum therefore begins with a foundation course and moves on immediately to the strategy alignment module. This is followed by a context-specific course on managing human capital in Asia. To be an effective business partner, human resource professionals must be able to lead and manage change (module 4). They must also be confident in designing and building high commitment, high performance organisations (module 5). The sixth and last compulsory module examines human capital measurements and how they relate to the business needs of contemporary organisations.
The six HCM-focused electives (students will choose four) provide opportunities for students to explore other key areas of human capital management. In addition, students will conduct an applied research / consultancy project leading to a 10,000 words dissertation. This component can be substituted with 2 additional elective courses. The Master of Human Capital Management will take about 84 weeks to complete.
Courses may also be taken individually as a
post graduate certification course.
To cater to busy professionals, classes are mostly conducted on weekends to minimise disruption to work schedules (with the exception for the Urban Transport Management and Chinese Language and Literature programme). Weekend classes are held at SIM University, Clementi Road. Each course is completed over 7 weekends. Each weekend course comprises a half-day session on Saturday and a full-day session on Sunday on the 1st and 3rd weeks. 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th weeks are study break. 6th week is the exam week.
Course Schedule:
The Master Degree is targeted at professionals who have degrees in Human Resource Management, Business Adminstration, Business, Commerce and even other disciplines such as Sociology, Psychology, Social Work, and Counseling. It is also open to graduates from any disciplines, providing an avenue for those who wish to make a mid-career switch to the field of human capital management.
Graduates from the Human Capital Management Programme will have acquired the advanced knowledge and skills to function effectively as leaders and advisors in human capital management. They will have the competence in people management to take on challenging roles/positions in business and government organisations. These also include broad-based competencies such as critical thinking, business partnership, policy analysis, as well as programme evaluation.
