Program Description This dual-award programme is fully accredited by Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), giving full exemption against their Level 7 Advanced Diploma in HRM.

This programme will prepare students for a senior leadership position in HR, giving them the tools they need to distinguish themselves from the competition and the expertise needed to shape the HR agenda in any sector.

Students will gain insights into the activities, functions and environment of an organisation, and how HR functions can make a key contribution to its success.

The programme will give students a comprehensive grounding in the core disciplines of HR practice, including:

• leading • developing and managing people • employee relations • employment law

This will demonstrate their professional credibility to future employers in an increasingly competitive global graduate labour market. All students are required to join the CIPD as a student member within one month of commencing the course, and for successful graduates the CIPD joining fee and first-year membership fee are paid by the University as an additional benefit for the students.

As a member of the CIPD, students will have the ability to attend local events, opportunities to network with senior professionals and executives, access various training and development activities.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the leading UK professional body for HR specialists, accredits this programme in recognition of the fact that it meets rigorous academic and professional standards.
