  • Further Information

This programme is designed for people with an interest in human resource management and/or experience in human resource activities who wish to extend their skills. It offers an opportunity to focus on cultural and management issues at the international level and it would suit both students from home and overseas who wish to study this postgraduate programme in the UK.

Overall, it provides students with the ability to develop a systematic understanding and critical awareness of current problems and issues in international human resource management.

On completion of this programme students are currently eligible to apply for membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). However, due to ongoing changes at the CIPD the grade of membership for this programme will be determined later this year. The CIPD is the professional body for Human Resource practitioners in the UK and it is increasingly recognised globally.

The programme of study comprises of 180 credits, with the taught components completed over one year. Part-time students are expected to cover 75 credits in year 1 and 60 credits in year 2, plus 45 credits, for the dissertation, once the taught components have been completed and passed.
