Personnel and Development

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has fully accredited this evening programme against its new professional standards via the 'HR Professional Map' giving students the opportunity to obtain Chartered (Full) Membership. The MA is designed to meet the 'knowledge' standards plus develop the 'behaviour' standards of both the university and the professional body for personnel professionals. It helps students to become adaptable, well-informed and proficient in a range of managerial skills, as well as become attuned to lifelong learning. This programme provides students with a systematic knowledge and a critical awareness of current problems and insights in the discipline of personnel and development.

The programme is designed to be studied in a systematic and incremental manner. Students already possessing Graduate or Chartered CIPD qualifications may enter the programme in the final year and complete a number of top up courses to complete the MA qualification.

All our CIPD accredited programmes are run on an evening only basis usually on Mondays and Wednesdays. There will two daytime workshops each academic year usually on a Thursday and Friday.
