P.G.CERT HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

On this programme, you will develop your understanding of Human Resource Management and Development (HRM&D) practices across a variety of organisational settings, taking into account the way national and international contexts impact upon people management. The programme is suitable for both UK and international students.

"I’ve always been the type of person that hates public speaking. However, I know that going into HR – the career I want – I need to stand up in front of people if I’m doing presentations or going to conferences. If I progress, I need to be confident. I feel like my presentation skills and confidence have improved, especially with legal and academic language." Read more about student Hannah Murphy's experience on the course and the opportunity she had on the Tribunals Project to develop her skills.

The programme is highly industry-focussed.  In your last semester, you will choose either an industry-focussed dissertation or a 6 month paid work placement to research a real industry problem and provide evidence-based solutions, helping you put your learning into practice.
