This program has been prepared for candidates who have an academic interest in Human Resources Management. The primary aim of our program is to contribute to the development of a holistic and theoretical perspective on the field of Human Resources Management, through our compulsory and elective courses. Our second aim is to ensure that this perspective is supported by critical, ethical, and methodological competence. Finally, with the thesis study, it is aimed that our students will conduct high-value research on working life with a multidimensional, ethical, critical perspective and solid theoretical foundations.
