Gestão de Recursos Humanos

The HRM course aims to develop technical and behavioural skills focused on the strategic management of people in organisations. To achieve this goal, it is essential to adopt teaching and learning methodologies that prioritise the integration of theory and practice, promoting critical thinking, decision-making skills and the application of knowledge in real work contexts.
In the context of the student-centred pedagogical model, active methodologies play a central role. The student is seen as the protagonist of their own learning process, with the teacher acting as a mediator who guides, stimulates reflection and facilitates the construction of knowledge. Thus, strategies such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), case studies, business simulations and group work are favoured.
The use of case studies allows students to analyse authentic situations from professional practice, propose solutions and discuss different perspectives. By working on real problems, they develop essential HRM skills, such as analysing organisational contexts, informed decision-making and effective communication. Simulations and role-playing, on the other hand, provide a safe space for experimenting and practising leadership, negotiation and conflict management behaviours.
Another relevant methodology is collaborative learning, where group dynamics and teamwork encourage the sharing of experiences, the collective construction of knowledge, and the development of social and emotional skills. These skills, which are fundamental to human resource management, are reinforced through practical activities, debates, and cooperative projects.
In addition, digital methodologies and blended learning expand learning opportunities by combining face-to-face meetings with activities on virtual platforms. Resources such as discussion forums, explanatory videos, e-learning, and continuous feedback tools contribute to a dynamic, flexible learning environment adapted to each student’s individual pace.
Assessment should be consistent with these methodologies, favouring diverse instruments that value not only the final product but also the learning process. Project work, reflective portfolios, oral presentations and self-assessments are examples of assessment practices that allow for the observation of the student’s overall development and the effective application of the knowledge acquired.
The articulation between teaching methodologies and the pedagogical model therefore aims to train professionals capable of acting critically, ethically and innovatively in the field of people management. By prioritising active and contextualised learning, the HRM course fulfils the dual purpose of preparing students for the job market and promoting the development of a strategic and humanised vision of management.
