Human Resource Management – (Grad.Dip.)

The Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management is the key qualification for anyone who is either currently working as an HR professional, or who wishes to pursue a career in this increasingly important management function. Many employers place great value in the advanced knowledge and skills developed in a postgraduate course, and much of the content covered will be of great benefit to professionals in other functions who are, or will be, responsible for managing people.

The course is delivered and assessed to Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development CIPD standards, and it can therefore lead to progression to Chartered CIPD membership, recognised globally as an important indicator of HR competence, and fundamental in the UK for anyone seeking to progress within the HR function.

The key aims of the course include:

• To develop analytical, strategic and business skills
• To enhance professional and personal development
• To develop a range of transferable management skills
• To develop the capacity to critically evaluate and apply appropriate HR practices and procedures into a variety of work-based settings
