In just one year of part time study you can top up your Postgraduate Diploma in HRM or HRD, or your CIPD Advanced Level Diploma to an MSc masters qualification.
You will undertake an Independent Study allowing you to explore in greater detail, and from a more focused strategic element, an area of your choice, in agreement with your programme leader and tutor. This brings together all of your learning and will provide evidence of a link between HRM/HRD and the potential improved business performance. You can base it on an area that interests you, or where you see your career developing. Alternatively, you can base it on an area of your current employment to bring a real benefit to your current role.
On completion you will recognise and be able to evaluate the relevant knowledge and skills relating to successful leadership and management within a diverse cultural context and an ethical framework. You will be able to contribute to the development of an organisation's HRM/HRD strategies, policies, procedures and change programmes.
