Course description
This course’s modular, unit-based structure allows for maximum flexibility. A particularly attractive feature of the course is the option to follow one of three specialist HR routes (International, Consulting, Development) in Year Two by studying specialised units. Those wishing not to specialise can follow a generic HR pathway by selecting any unit combination within the Year Two option choices.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) requirements also stipulate that a sequential period of study be undertaken in order for you to gain graduate membership (Grad CIPD). Each year of the programme features a residential weekend, enabling you to complete People Management and Development (Year One) and Research Methods (Year Two) as an integral part of the overall course. Additional Saturday workshops are scheduled in both years of the course to support the residential weekends.
The dissertation gives you the opportunity to link theory with practice within an organisational context. It involves the identification and refinement of an HR problem, undertaking an in-depth literature review, the collection of primary data, and the analysis and evaluation of this data so as to produce a set of implementable and/or secondary recommendations. If you have chosen to follow a named specialist pathway,
your dissertation will be in your chosen specialism.
