On this programme, you will develop your understanding of Human Resource Management and Development (HRM&D) practices across a variety of organisational settings, taking into account the way national and international contexts impact upon people management. The programme is suitable for both UK and international students.

The programme is highly industry-focussed.  In your last semester, you will choose either an industry-focussed dissertation or a 6 month paid work placement to research a real industry problem and provide evidence-based solutions, helping you put your learning into practice.

This is an Advanced Level programme, recognised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Full-time students automatically gain entrance to the CIPD National conference and Exhibition in Manchester - the leading HRM conference in the UK.

This programme is mapped across the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development)’s advanced level 7 diploma. This brings a clear focus on combining the theoretical and practical aspects of HRM&D practice so that, when you graduate, you will have the skills that employers look for and the knowledge to put them into practice quickly. Assessments have been designed to reflect the reality of work, for example incorporating digital technologies to use video interviews and diaries to report on a live employment law case.
