Towards a new era of people management
The current work environment demands a new generation of human resources professionals capable of streamlining people management processes and responding to business needs.
The new forms of collaboration, internal mobility and participation in attractive projects that provide employability to the workers of organizations, the management of personalized compensation for each employee, corporate culture, the possibilities of a professional career and the styles of leadership are only some of the projects that any professional dedicated to people management must face in order to combine business strategy with people management.
We are entering a new generation in people management that requires knowledge, creativity and technical proficiency to be able to face the problems posed by the current work environment, which is increasingly demanding and changing, and where the presence of automation and digitization is increasingly more usual.
The Master's Degree in Leadership and Human Resources Management in the face-to-face modality includes the Sagardoy Degree in Digital Talent Management & HR Analytics from Nebrija University and Sagardoy Business & Law School, designed to provide technical excellence to future human resources professionals who wish to acquire differential knowledge to tackle the new challenges posed by people management.
Our official Master's degree in all its modalities trains our students to be leaders in the areas of human resources. The competences, knowledge, skills and abilities that they acquire there are comprehensive and demanding, and a very complete and global vision of people management at all levels.
As is demanded by the BANI environment in which they enter the working world, the Master's approach to leadership trains them in skills and competences, both hard and soft, and sets their profile apart within the area of people management in which they wish to develop.
The large number of extracurricular activities that are carried out in the Master's degree, in collaboration with important companies and international and national HR Directors, make Nebrija graduates be recognized for their excellent preparation for any public and/or private company.
The high employability index of our official accredited Master's degree guarantees that students who choose this program in any modality are committing to a safe and differential value from the rest of the academic offer in HR.

Testimonials about the Master in Leadership and HR Management
“It is a pleasure to be at a university that welcomes you and facilitates things from the very start; but it is even better to see that all the skills and knowledge acquired in class are put into practice during my internships in the company.”
“I would highlight the practical training and closeness shown by the great professionals who teach the Master's degree. They always kept us up to date on trends and tools. Thanks to this, I now work at Grupo Binternational, an international human resources consultancy working in Germany, Portugal, Chile, among others.”
“Mi experiencia en Nebrija fue excepcional. Estoy finalizando el Master Oficial en Liderazgo y Dirección de RRHH (programa online) que ofrece la universidad y estoy encantada con la experiencia. Los contenidos, la dinámica de trabajo y los docentes son de primer nivel. Lo que más destaco de la universidad 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. En lo personal, Nebrija ha representado un antes y un después en mi carrera profesional, la recomiendo al 100%.”

Admission Requirements
As established in Royal Decree 861/2010, students who meet any of the following conditions may access these studies:
- Have an official Spanish university degree or another issued by a higher education institution of the European Higher Education Area that authorizes access to Master's degrees in the country issuing the degree.
- Graduates from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area will be able to access without the need for homologation of their degrees, after the University verifies that they accredit a level of education equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees, and that these grant access to postgraduate education in the country issuing the degree. Access through this route will not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous degree held by the interested party, nor its recognition for other purposes than that of studying the Master's degree.
- In the case of students with special educational needs derived from disability, the need for possible curricular adaptations, itineraries or alternative studies will be assessed.
The admission process consists of the following phases:
Send the required documentation by postal mail or courier to the Postgraduate Admissions Section
The documentation that the candidate must provide is the following:
- a. Completed Admission Application.
- b. Photocopy of ID (Spanish candidates) or passport (foreign candidates).
- c. Two color passport-size photographs.
- d. Certified photocopy of the official diploma of the Associate's or Bachelor's Degree. For foreign candidates, said certified photocopy, with the corresponding official translation, where appropriate, must be legalized through diplomatic channels or, where appropriate, by means of the Hague Convention apostille, except in the case of documents issued by the authorities of the Member States of the European Union or signatories to the agreement on the European Economic Area. In addition, they must prove that the degree provided grants access to postgraduate studies in the issuing country.
- e. Certified photocopy of the academic record. For foreign candidates, said certified photocopy, with the corresponding official translation, where appropriate, must be legalized through diplomatic channels or, where appropriate, through the Apostille of The Hague, except in the case of documents issued by the authorities of the Member States of the European Union or signatories of the agreement on the European Economic Area.
- f. Personalized letter of intent addressed to the Director of the Master's Program, in which they explain the reasons why they wish to carry out the Master's studies, as well as the academic and professional expectations that lead them to this choice.
- h. Updated Curriculum Vitae.
- h. a) Two letters.
Taking an admission test
The test that candidates must take for admission to this Master's program will be specific according to the specialization they wish to take, and its purpose is for students to certify mastery of the skills related to it, as established by the ECI Order/3858/2007, section 4.2.
Those who have any of the university degrees that correspond to the chosen specialization will be exempt from taking said test.
This test consists of the following sections:
- a. A personal data questionnaire.
- b. A question referring to the candidate's expectations about the Master's, to show their ability to express themselves about the field of study.
- c. In the same way, the ability to express oneself fluently in Spanish and English is valued.
- d. An English level test to place the student on a scale of proficiency in this language, in order to guarantee that, at the end of the master's degree, the student can accredit the B2 level, required by the regulations, for those students who take subjects in English. Nebrija is a member of ACLES (Association of Language Centers in Higher Education), an association that has its own certification system approved by the Rectors' Conference. Thus, students will pass an exam that will certify the level of English obtained.
This written admission test will be complemented by a personal interview with a member of the faculty of the business department of the School of Law and International Relations. This interview can be done in person or remotely through the computer tools available at the university and that ensure the identity of the applicant.
These tests will be carried out in person in Madrid or in the provinces during the presentation sessions of the academic programs carried out by the Nebrija Promotion and Admissions Department (P&A).
The testing periods are:
- EARLY CALL: Tests held in the months from February to May.
- ORDINARY CALL: Tests held in June and July.
- EXTRAORDINARY CALL: Tests held in September.
Presentation of the candidacy to the Admissions Committee of the Master's program
All the documents submitted by the student, together with the result of the Admission Tests, are evaluated by the Admissions Committee of the Master's program. Said Committee assesses whether the documents are administratively correct and whether the candidate's profile matches the profile recommended for the master's degree.
Admission Criteria
In addition to meeting the legally established access requirements indicated above, the Admissions Committee will accept or reject the admission of a student considering the following admission criteria:
- Academic record. Candidates will be weighted directly in this section from 1 to 10, depending on the grade average of their academic record.
- Satisfactory results in the specific skills admission tests for this master's degree. The candidate will need to show an admission profile reasonably consistent with that recommended for this master's degree.
- Degree of motivation and attitude of the candidate. This can also be a relevant factor when it comes to admitting a student or not, and in the interview the student can also be guided about the options offered by the master's degree.
- Professional experience in the business field, especially in leadership and/or related to human resources.
- Given that it is a program with distance learning and blended versions, the real possibility of correctly carrying out the planned educational activities (which may have a certain face-to-face component in the blended version) will be assessed. This will be evaluated during the personal interview, in which the interviewer will assess whether the job and personal situation of the candidate, their availability, etc. is compatible with the normal development of the teaching-learning process and activities with the expected teaching load. As a result of this joint analysis, which will entail a mutual exchange of information, the student can be guided about their real possibilities, the recommended annual workload, and they will be informed about the compulsory attendance, in the case of the blended version, in some activities (exams, etc.) or even, where appropriate, will reject their candidacy if there is a probability of not being able to satisfactorily carry out the programmed training activities.
- The required English language level for students whose mother tongue is not English and who are going to take subjects in that language must be at least B2. Likewise, for those students whose mother tongue is not Spanish, and who are going to take subjects in that language, they must have a B2 level of Spanish.
If the number of students exceeds the maximum limit, the Admissions Committee will decide based on the following weighting:
- Academic record (30%)
- previous education (10%)
- level of knowledge of English (30%)
- specific training courses taken (10%)
- previous experience in the business field (20%)
In order to carry out the weighting, each of the previous criteria will be valued from 1 to 10 before adding the weighted sum.
Finally, if applicable, the Admissions Committee will approve the candidate's admission to the Master's Program and/or the detailed proposal of competence complements and the corresponding training actions and credit load that the candidate must take.
