Is it better to pursue a second master's or consider other courses like AI related to HR in UK/Ireland?
A second master's is usually not the most efficient way to add AI skills to your HR background. Instead, specialized AI courses designed for HR professionals can provide targeted, relevant skills without the time and cost of a full degree.
For January 2027, several UK and Ireland universities offer AI programs that do not require a computer science background and are suitable for HR professionals:
- University of Liverpool: Data Science and Artificial Intelligence MSc
- University of Huddersfield: Applied Artificial Intelligence MSc
- Brunel University London: Artificial Intelligence Strategy MSc
These programs focus on practical AI applications in business and HR, helping you integrate AI into talent management and organizational development.
Given your qualifications, a specialized AI course is the recommended path to advance your HR career.
