The aim of the programme The Master Programme in European Human Resource Management provides Masters and MBA students the unique opportunity to combine a high quality general management degree with a specialist masters degree in European HRM. The programme aims at delivering first-class education of HRM, as well as offering the students the opportunity to carry out an in-company HR-project. This incompany project provides students with the experience of cross-cultural teamwork and takes place in a foreign country.

3 A co-operation between seven leading European Business Schools The programme brings together participants and faculty from seven leading European Business Schools and universities: Copenhagen Business School, Denmark EM Lyon, Ecole de management, France Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg, Germany Luiss Business School, Rome, Italy Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School, Belgium University of Bamberg, Germany In total approximately 25 students and several professors of the different institutions participate in the programme. Course of the programme: Teaching periods & In-company project The programme consists of three residential periods of class teaching and a consultancy in-company project in each one of these six European countries.

4 Residential I Period of class teaching and in-company project presentations: Place: Luiss Business School, Rome Period: from Monday 31 March 2014 till Friday 11 April 2014 An initial, intensive two-week teaching period at the outset of the programme provides a thorough grounding in approaches to human resource management in multinational organizations across Europe. EHRM is an international programme focusing on European issues within International HRM. Topics covered include strategic HRM, psychological contracts and career management, empowerment and people performance, reward management, intercultural management, team dynamics etc. The first Residential rests on and familiarizes students with core theory within European/International HRM, but aims at giving students specific action oriented competencies like project-management and consultancy-skills, with which the student can apply the general knowledge to specific tasks in an organization. In this sense, the programme has a strong professional orientation, providing a platform for future career. During the first residential the students will receive presentations of all incompany projects. Thereafter they have to decide together how they will divide the group into teams and assign those teams to specific projects. Company Project Part I: Place: a company hosting a project in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium or another country.

Master Programme in EHRM: The In-company projects What can you expect from our students? Each of the participating Business schools send up to six of their best students to the programme, decided by a selection process. These are Masters students or PhD students with advanced knowledge in business administration and specific interest in HRM. They are fluent in English. The students work on the project in teams (by 2 to 4) on a full time basis during eleven weeks. It is possible to see the résumés of all participants on beforehand, but you are not able to select specific students for your company. What do we expect from the host company? Facilities The company provides the students with the necessary facilities they need to perform their task (such as an office, computer, phone etc.). If students need to collect information from within the company on a certain topic, they need to have access to this information. Their confidentiality is guaranteed.

6 Project supervisor The company is asked to appoint a project supervisor who is responsible for the follow-up of the students project within the company and contact person for the students. Project evaluation During the last week of the in-company project, the company provides the students with the opportunity to do a presentation of their project work to the HR management. After completion of the project, the company will be asked to fill out an evaluation form which covers the consultancy report that the students have to write, their presentation and their effort and engagement. Students also present their project work to the jury of the EHRM programme during the third Residential Period in Rome. You are warmly welcome to join the presentations during residential III and to network with other HR managers present during these presentations. Cost Companies are expected to cover the accommodation costs for the company project duration as well as the travel expenses of the students (two tickets for arrival and departure). Bonuses are optional. Additional costs occur in form of working costs related to the project (e.g. copy costs, phone costs, use of a computer, project-related travelling, etc.). Time frame The consultancy project will start immediately after the residential period I and will be finished just before residential period III. The students start working on their project on Monday 14 April 2014 until Friday 16 May 2014 for the first five weeks of the project. They continue working on their project on Monday 26 May 2014 until Friday 4 July 2014 for another six weeks.
