The course is set at undergraduate level and includes students from varying business backgrounds.

You’ll develop personal planning skills too – drawing on both organisational and academic data to see how HR management and HR development make a contribution to business.
Recently updated, this course will enable you to engage with the current working environment with the necessary vision and skills to solve its challenges. These include consultancy experience and hands-on problem solving, skills development to help with your studies as well as professional skills, planning and decision-making.

Programme Structure
Curriculum includes:
- This one-year course bridges the Foundation and Advanced levels of the CIPD qualifications. You’ll study one afternoon/evening a week or an equivalent alternative as a block delivery. The course is assessed by coursework, such as essays, presentations and portfolios, and you’ll be supported by a Personal Tutor throughout the course.
- Development of knowledge and skills – in both HR and academic study – is facilitated through shared learning in the classroom. So, in addition to tutor teaching, you’ll participate in problem-based learning through case study, presentations where ‘students are experts’ and analysis of podcasts/videos, as examples. You’ll also undertake your own reading and research to consolidate your formal learning.
