Two specialisations in today's major trends in people management
The Master's Degree in Leadership and Strategic People Management is an accredited and recognised Master's Degree in the European Higher Education Area that stands out for preparing future leaders in the field of talent management. We offer comprehensive and advanced training, ranging from essential technical skills in each of the areas of people management, to humanistic skills, crucial for a strategic contribution of value in business growth.
Focusing on the challenges of Leadership for Globalisation and Digitisation, our programme is designed to equip students with the necessary tools to excel in the dynamic and complex work environment where people management and technology management must accompany a strategy of differentiation. Our programme emphasises the development of core competencies and interpersonal skills, preparing graduates to excel in any career field within the human resources sector.
This exclusive Master's degree combines all the fundamental areas of people management, such as strategic management, talent leadership, the legal field and people management policies and digital transformation in HR. It is therefore considered a proposal that brings together the main trends in people management. In addition, the programme allows you to specialise in the training itineraries proposed in the main current trends in people management:
- Advanced management of compensation and benefits (C&B). Designing strategic remuneration plans, taking into account the critical design of variable remuneration, and the taxation of compensation and benefits plans as part of the financial well-being of employees.
- People analytics. Promote the capacity for analysis and strategic decision-making based on data, through statistics applied to people management, storytelling, or data governance, and the ethical principles of these technologies in organisations.
One of the strengths of our Master is the collaboration with internationally renowned companies and HR leaders, providing our students with unique practical experiences that enrich their learning and build a valuable network of contacts for their career.
The companies that have participated in the design and development of this innovative curriculum refer as a priority the technical knowledge of the management of all legal human resources processes and also a special sensitivity for areas in which it is more difficult to find talent with the appropriate university training.
With the collaboration of:
"Our Master's Degree in all its modalities trains our students to be leaders in the areas of human resources.

As demanded by the BANI environment in which they enter the world of work. The Master's focus on leadership means that they are trained in skills and competencies, both hard and soft, and that differentiates them in any profile in which they want to develop in the area of people management. The large number of extracurricular activities that are carried out in the Master's Degree, in collaboration with important international and national companies and HR Directors, mean that Nebrija graduates are recognised for their excellent preparation for any public and/or private company. The high rate of employability of our accredited official Master's Degree guarantees that students who choose this programme in any modality are betting on a safe and differential value from the rest of the academic offer in HR".

Alba Palacios Montes
Máster en Liderazgo y Dirección Estratégica de Personas
“Antes del Máster, veía la gestión de personas como procesos; ahora la veo como el corazón de las organizaciones. Nebrija me dio las herramientas para revolucionar políticas de talento, liderar con impacto y hasta medir lo que antes parecía ‘intangible’. Si quieres dejar de ser un gestor y convertirte en un estratega de RRHH, esto es tu trampolín.”
Mercedes Yunis
Máster en Liderazgo y Dirección Estratégica de Personas
“Mi experiencia en Nebrija fue excepcional. Tras finalizar el Master Oficial en Liderazgo y Dirección puedo decir que los contenidos, la dinámica de trabajo y los docentes del Master han sido de primer nivel. Lo que más destaco de la experiencia durante el Master es la cantidad de eventos extracurriculares y bolsa de empleo que ofrece a los alumnos. Gracias a ello, sumado el excelente trabajo del departamento de Carreras Profesionales, he conseguido realizar mis prácticas en una reconocida cadena internacional de hoteles donde actualmente estoy trabajando. En lo personal, Nebrija ha representado un antes y un después en mi carrera profesional, la recomiendo al 100%.”
