Our teaching is offered on a full-time basis, mainly delivered during the daytime, and can be completed in 12-15 months. A part-time study option may also be considered for working students or those with other conflicting commitments. This study option is subject to approval by the course leader, on a person-to-person basis. There are two annual entry points for admission. January and September start dates are available to ensure flexibility.

You’ll examine the theories of global human resource management (including strategy and practice, covering issues around managing people across different cultures, employee engagement, talent management, and employment law). This will be applied to all business sizes, from entrepreneurial start-ups to large multinational companies.

Your analytical and critical thinking skills will be developed so you can use the theories to solve practical, real world, human resource issues in your workplace. We’ll also help you improve your research skills so you can put together either a research dissertation or a consultancy report or, undertake a placement. These assessments will address the human resource issues facing your organization and how you could tackle them.

We’ve structured the course, so your learning meets all the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development requirements. For example, their skills for business leadership requirements are delivered and assessed across all four of the core modules.
