MBA in HR

Calumscott

Is an MBA useful in HR? I'm 6 years deep into my career and at a crossroads if I'll pursue a postgraduate degree in Psychology which is my passion, or get an MBA that seems to be a default in a corporate career path.

My current career goal is Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist (such a sweet spot between my two passion).

Thoughts?

  • It was completing a MBA (studied with the OU) that convinced me to specialise in HR. I’d been in generalist management roles to that point. The MBA gave me a broader and deeper understanding of business and corporate strategy and how to get stuff done. I’d recommend it if that’s what you’re after, but pick your course carefully. It’s a significant investment and quality and content vary. The OU programme was great.
