Typical duration
The programme will be run on a full-time and part-time basis. Full-time students will complete the programme in a year (three semesters). Part-time students will complete the programme in two years (six semesters). The modules are run in a sequential order so students will be able to move between the modes of delivery to accommodate changes to their financial or domestic arrangements. The structure of the teaching hours (1.30pm-9.00pm) reflects the practical and practitioner focus of the programme, as this allows for part-time students to study and work with minimal extraction costs to their companies and full-time students have the opportunity within their timetables for placement activities.

The programme also includes a weekend residential for all modules to ensure the opportunity for the fuller and more intensive development of relevant skills and behaviours.
The MA in HRM will consist of five modules, four 30 credit modules and one 60 credit dissertation module. All of the modules are core; however, students will have the option of exiting the programme on completion of four 30 credit core taught modules and a 30 credit Management Report, and will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in HRM.
