Why study this course?

Successfully complete our postgraduate diploma in Global Human Resource Management to receive a CIPD Advanced Level 7 Associate Membership Certificate. This allows you to become an Associate member and progress this to Chartered membership or Chartered Fellowship, depending on your professional experience. You'll be able to put CMCIPD or CFCIPD after your name, signalling to employers your ability to work in more demanding and strategic roles. Whether you want to enter junior human resource roles, or progress onto more senior positions, this MA will equip you with the skills and knowledge to do so.

More about this course

Located in our Moorgate campus in the City of London, the Global Human Resources Management MA will give you the tools needed to succeed in your future career.

You’ll examine the theories of human resource (HR) strategy and practice, covering issues around employee engagement, talent management, and employment law. This will be applied to all business sizes, from entrepreneurial start-ups to large multinational companies.

Your analytical and critical thinking skills will be developed so you can use the theories to solve practical “real life” HR issues in your workplace. You'll also develop your research skills by creating a scientific research report. This report will address the HR issues facing your organisation and how you could tackle them.

We’ve structured the course so your learning meets all the CIPD requirements. For example, the CIPD’s Skills for Business Leadership requirements are delivered and assessed across all four of the core modules.
