Overview

The Certificate and Diploma in Human Resource Management, level 7 stand-alone courses, have been designed to develop relevant and essential knowledge and skills in people management and learning and development, and are a route into professional membership of the CIPD.

You'll focus on problem-solving ability and linking theory to real-world challenges. As part of this, you'll visit UK companies and learn from guest speakers who share their practical business experience. HR practitioners work with our academic team to deliver events and workshops that will help prepare you to become a part of the HRM professional community. The networks you develop will become invaluable to you when you graduate and embark on your career in a senior role in human resource management.

Your progress will be assessed through a range of methods which include individual and group assignments, business reports, presentations, case study analysis, portfolios of work, time-constrained activities, and project work.

Career ready

Our Human Resource Management postgraduates now work at senior HR manager level in a number of organisations, including Caterpillar, BT and Nissan.
