Specific entry requirements

This course attracts students from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities. A minimum of a second class honours degree (2:2) in any academic discipline, or equivalent overseas degree from a recognised institution or equivalent professional or other qualification is required.

Applicants who possess a diploma rather than a good degree may be eligible for entry provided they have compensatory work experience and can demonstrate career development.

Applications are welcome from recent graduates hoping to start a career in HRM as well as those looking to take a break from work to take up full-time study or to study the programme part-time as part of their continuing professional development.

Entry will also be subject to two satisfactory references (one of these must be an academic reference).
