LJMU's Human Resource Management MA focuses on the practical application of knowledge in different organisational contexts, business sectors and areas of operation.

• Study in a CIPD-approved centre
• Work towards accreditation against the knowledge requirements of the CIPD’s Advanced Diploma Level Standards
• ‘Top up’ your CIPD Level 7 Diploma from another university or college to a Masters degree 

Increasing labour costs are amongst the most expensive operational spend for many organisations, and their evolving needs demand knowledgeable and capable Human Resource teams. This course helps support and add value to business growth and development.

As a postgraduate in this specialist area you will be part of an HR community, engaging in study and research with practitioner input through taught sessions, master classes and CIPD Liverpool Group and Branch activities.

The programme provides you with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Advanced (Level 7) Standards. On graduation student members upgrade to Chartered Member, evidencing experience, behaviours and academic achievement.

The MA offers specialist modules in Resourcing and Talent Management, Managing Performance, Employment Relations and Organisational Development which are supported by core modules in Strategy, Leadership and Business Context. Research methods underpin the Dissertation stage which involves a detailed personal piece of work supported by tutors and peers through dissertation workshops.

Successful completion of the MA Human Resource Management gives you the knowledge requirements at Level 7 from which, with appropriate experience, you will be able to apply for Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
