Business Administration (MBA) (Human Resource Management)

The MBA in Human Resource Management at the Zagreb School of Economics and Management represents the best step HR managers can make in developing their organization’s strongest competitive advantage; their people. Our MBA in HRM was recently placed among the top programs of Eduniversal’s list of the best HRM MBAs in Eastern Europe.

Additionally, in 2015 MBA in HRM has received a certificate from the American organization Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) confirming that the program’s curriculum is fully aligned with the curriculum of SHRM. ZSEM’s MBA in HRM is one of only 16 similar programs outside the USA to have met the Society’s high standards. This concentration is designed for managers and future business professionals that want to learn how to utilize their people to achieve organizational objectives, who wish to learn how to recruit star employees, how to manage change, create a HR strategy, and more. Classes include examples of human resource management in practice, video examples, case studies, and are highly interactive. Students will also take part in a computer simulation in which they will assume the role of a Human Resource Manager, and make decisions on recruitment, promotions, salary increases, employee training, etc. Based on the outcomes of their actions, they will learn how HRM theory relates to practice.

Faculty represents a combination of Croatian and foreign experts in the area of Human Resource Management. Study groups are small, as they are in all programs offered by the Zagreb School of Economics and Management, and communication between professors and students is direct.
