“I noticed the importance of simultaneous growth of Human Capital Development and Technological Development. I was immediately intrigued by the NUS MSc in HCMA’s programme structure with the balance of Quantitative and Qualitative approaches towards HR. I found this to be extremely relevant in the current industry’s demand and the ASEAN focus is also what makes it unique, as it would give us a specialized knowledge in HR.”

“Human capital is a major component of any company and big data is the future trend for the business industry. These classes teach how HR people could turn the final deliverables in universal language numbers, which would be the baseline for the business strategy. HCMA provides a decent combination for those who would like to expand their future career in HR scope and equipped us with the analytical skills.”

“The MSc in HCMA is the perfect amalgamation of analytics and the “people” side of business. The course material broadens your perspective and equips you with the skills to lead at a strategic level. The world-class faculty helps you dive deeper into the subject and offer an enriching educational experience. NUS Business School community provides students with a holistic university experience and a stellar global alumni network.”

“I think the biggest gain for me is a more outgoing and proactive personality, which allows me to better conduct research and solve specific problems and enables better cross-cultural communication. The modules are excellent, and the teachers are all very serious and responsible. They often interact and cite case studies in class. I would like to specifically mention the AI module as I believe this course has greatly expanded my data processing skills and will be of great help to my future work.”

“As someone who works in a public sector, understanding the fast-changing HR trends in private sector settings opens up many possibilities of what can be fostered, improved, or left out. Through this programme, I gain insights on the alignment of business and current practices in managing people, as well as the future of them. Most importantly, I am very glad that I got to be in a constructive learning environment, with compelling minds and passionate people.”

“The HCMA course framework exceeds international norms, providing me worldwide access. I feel at home because the pedagogy is among the finest for business studies, and the curriculum is evolving to reflect the unmet needs of the industrial revolution in the 21st century. I’m thrilled with my advancements and exposures.”

<em>”Combining both HR and digital acumen, the MSc in HCMA program is the right program I was looking for as it helps to upgrade my understanding of data-driven approaches and updated HR metrics, which is the key factor to alleviate the current HR issue problems. I am fully aware that data and technology are powerful tools for a HR professional to become a reliable business partner and employee listener. The program provides me with sufficient technical knowledge in HR Analytics to apply in the workplace during my experiential learning.”

“My MSc in Human Capital Management and Analytics journey is all about learning like a sponge and soaking up endless drops of knowledge.”
