This dual-award program is fully accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), giving full exemption against their Level 7 Advanced Diploma in HRM.
It will prepare you for a senior leadership position in HR, giving you the tools you need to distinguish yourself from the competition and the expertise needed to shape the HR agenda in any sector.
You’ll gain insights into the activities, functions, and environment of an organization, and how HR functions can make a key contribution to its success.
The program will give you a comprehensive grounding in the core disciplines of HR practice, including:
- Leading
- Developing and managing people
- Employee relations
- Employment law
On successful completion, you will automatically gain an associate level of CIPD professional membership which will entitle you to use ‘Associate CIPD’ after your name. This will demonstrate your professional credibility to future employers in an increasingly competitive global graduate labor market. All students are required to join the CIPD as a student member within one month of commencing the course, and for successful graduates, the CIPD joining fee and first-year membership fee are paid by the University as an additional benefit for our students.
As a member of the CIPD, you will have the ability to attend local events, have opportunities to network with senior professionals and executives, and access various training and development activities.
The program can be studied on a full-time or part-time basis. Students with a PG Diploma in a Human Resources discipline from another approved institution can top-up to the Master's level by undertaking the Dissertation module on a part-time basis; CIPD professional membership is not available on this award.
