How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

The course develops your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help manage the process and complexities of organisational change. It approaches HRM at a strategic level and examines organisations operating both nationally and internationally.

The course takes a practical and vocational approach to teaching so that you are able to apply the theory you learn through practice.

You learn through

  • lectures
  • seminars
  • skill-based workshops
  • research
  • portfolio assessment
  • coursework
  • journals

This course is delivered face-to-face over three semesters - teaching is scheduled based on the length of your course and the academic calendar.

Applied learning - Live projects

The course offers a range of extra-curricular activities to help you apply your learning. There are practical project blocks and applied workshops which help in developing a range of HR skills and competencies.

To facilitate the development of your portfolio (when you are in employment) you will take part in a module which provides the framework for personal and professional skills development and which is assessed through a portfolio. The portfolio is designed to provide the framework for students to record their learning and development and can be used by

  • part-time students to record evidence from the workplace of the development of skills and competencies linked to specific work-related activity during the postgraduate diploma stage;
  • full-time students as the framework for developing a record of professional practice and work-related activities once they have commenced working in the field of HRM.

Networking opportunities

Our courses are designed and delivered by a highly experienced team of academics, who have extensive practice-based experience in HRM and consultancy. We expect you to play an active part in your own development. This can involve setting up learning contracts with tutors, managing your personal development, gaining the skills necessary for reflective learning and attending the guest lectures and professional events organised by the local branch of Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

We also have a dynamic, student-led HR Network, which provides excellent opportunities for sharing experience with alumni, sponsors, business leaders, human resource managers and consultants. The network is supported by guest speakers from both professional bodies, alumni, employers which are often embedded into modules. This ensures that you gain access to non-academics and are able to see what roles, qualifications and career progression is available to you on graduation.
