Assessment

You will be assessed via a mixture of examinations and assessed coursework in the form of essays, portfolios and projects, reports, case studies, presentations, design tasks and primary/secondary research.

Informal assessment is incorporated into the learning process and you will be given feedback during seminars encouraging reflective practice in formal assessments.

As well as giving you the chance to study for a role within HRM, the HRM masters confers CIPD membership which is often a requirement of appointment and/or promotion in the HR profession.

By achieving this qualification students are demonstrating that they have the skills and drive to maximise their contribution to overall business performance and those they are committed to achieving the highest standard of professionalism within their career.
