Course: Practical assignment credits: 10

This optional module in the main phase of the HRM programme is concluded with a practical assignment within one's own or another organisation. This assignment may be carried out individually or in pairs. This practical assignment is aimed at the deployment/implementation of concrete (improvement) actions in an organization and connects the concepts of leadership with the reality as it occurs in an organization.
Subjects of a practical assignment can for example be about choosing and implementing an HRM/leadership instrument, investigating a bottleneck in the functioning of an organization, investigating the consequences of a change in the (contextual) environment of an organization, evaluating a change or adaptation of the organization, in the field of leadership. The practical assignment therefore relates to the practice of the student. In addition, a link is made with the theory of the module by using this theory to map, investigate and solve the problem.

- The subject and the overall design must be approved by the supervising lecturer on the basis of a submitted proposal;
- A practical assignment is carried out in pairs or individually;
- The assignment produces a professional product or a research report.
