MA Human resources management (CIPD Approved)

 The entry requirements for the MA HRM are drawn up in accordance with the Wrexham Glyndŵr University regulations, as indicated below.  Additionally, applicants should not have less than two years work experience unless exceptional circumstances prevail.

Both the Distance Learning and Blended Learning modes of the programme have been designed to be very flexible – meaning that students can generally fit their work around their study.  The Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma are a mix of both academic and vocational study and assessments are focused on individual research and work experience. It is therefore considered advantageous for a student to be in employment throughout their study, although students may apply their learning to an organization with which they are familiar.

A student must also satisfy one, or a combination of, the following criteria:

• An initial degree of Glyndŵr University, or another University approved degree awarding body.
• A non-graduate qualification which the University deemed to be of satisfactory standard for the purpose of postgraduate admission
• Relevant work experience that is deemed to compensate the lack of formal qualifications and have held a position of management responsibility for a minimum of two years.

A student who has already achieved the current or previous CIPD Advanced Diploma may be given permission to proceed directly onto Year 3.  Students with other qualifications may also be considered for full or part exemption from the programme in line with Glyndŵr University’s RPL criteria.
