Which course is better and more in demand, Msc HRM or Msc International Human Resource management?And does CIPD accredited HR courses add value?

International Human Resource Management (IHRM) :

International Human Resource Management (IHRM) is involved with the management of employees in

the three nation categories i.e. parent/home country, host country and third country. Simply it can be said

as IHRM is done at international level. So, staffs are placed and work outside national boundaries. It

deals with several external factors such as government regulations of foreign country. There is greater

complexity involved in handling different people from different countries as they work outside the national

boundaries.

Human Resource Management (HRM) :

Human Resource Management (HRM) is involved with the management of employees in only one or

single country. Simply it can be said as HRM is done at national level. So, staffs are placed and work

within the national boundaries. It deals with few and limited external factors so it is less complicated as

compared to IHRM due to less influence from external factors. It is relatively easy to handle the

employees as they belong to same country and all employees works inside the national boundary.
