Study Details: MSc/PgDip 1 Year FT
This programme is designed for students who wish a career in Human Resource Management and require a qualification which will assist them to gain entry at a professional level. By the end of this programme, students will have gained a broad knowledge of HR/managerial activities and some opportunities for greater specialism in particular HR areas. Great emphasis throughout the programme is on the translation of student learning to the work situation and the development of (HR) professional, managerial and transferable skills. Effort has been made to ensure students engage in ‘real life’ issues through, for example, case studies, investigative projects and exposure to best practice.
