European Quality Imrovement System Accredited

Special Features

  • Our Human Resource Management Masters programmes are widely recognised and accredited by theChartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), and our students benefit from our close links with HR practitioners.
  • The School of Management is accredited by The European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS)

Teaching Methods

Learning will be directed, supported and reinforced through a combination of lectures, staff-led small group sessions, virtual learning environment (or equivalent) activities and guided private study. Sessions may be delivered weekly or in blocks. Small group sessions will use practical application of cases and case studies with oral feedback given in the class. Students will be directed to appropriate primary and secondary sources and be required to perform research and presentation exercises.  The Employment Law module is a good example of this where students are required to research legal issues and prepare an oral submission of their findings at tutorials. All teaching will be supported by information supplied on the University's virtual learning environment. As a programme leading to professional membership, personal development planning is particularly important. The Developing Skills for Business Leadership module focuses on personal and professional skills assessment and development, using an e-portfolio, PebblePAD to support this.

The programme is summatively assessed by a mixture of examinations, coursework (group and individual) and presentations (group and individual). Skills assessment is both individual, group and by e-portfolio including a reflective journal. Detail is provided in the mapping appendix. Note that CIPD requirements are an unseen element of assessment in the core modules, HRM in Context and Leading, Managing and Developing People. The final award of Master will be gained by a successful completion of a bound dissertation on an agreed topic, which evidences a critical exposition of primary data (20,000 words). The final award of PG Dip will be gained by a successful completion of a report in the Investigating an HR Issue from a Business Perspective module on an agreed topic, which evidences a critical exposition of primary data (7,500 words).
