How to Train as an HR Consultant in Europe

European universities offer students the opportunity to gain valuable training that can prepare them for a career as a human resources consultant, but it is important to understand the process for undertaking this training. Human resource consultants help companies with issues related to human resources such as hiring, promoting and motivating staff. They require training that offers both academic and practical management training in human resources. The leading type of training in Europe that offers this type of training is a master of science in business administration (MscBA) in human resources management. Completing such a degree will, according to the Rotterdam School of Management, prepare an individual for a career as an HR Consultant.

      Select a European university program offering an MscBA program in human resources. The Financial Times of London offers a ranking of European business schools. The list shows which schools offer MscBA programs, but you will have to check the individual school websites to see if they offer a specialization in human resources.

      Take the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). This test is a requirement for most graduate business schools in Europe. It is a test that measures your verbal and analytical skills. It is only one of the elements that a school will look at when evaluating your application. More information and resources for the GMAT can be found at mba.com.

      Complete your MscBA in human resources. Programs will vary in length, taking one year for a person with a business undergraduate degree, but possibly two years for those without a relevant degree. During your program you will attend lectures and classes and be required to complete a thesis before graduating. Your thesis will be an original research work that contributes to the field of human resources. In addition to your academic work, most European schools offer hands on training through internships. An internship may be taken concurrent with your studies or completed following your studies. An internship can give you practical experience in human resources, allow you to work as a consultant and possibly give you an opportunity to perform research for your thesis. After completing your MscBA in human resources you will be prepared for a career as an HR consultant.
