Why study for a DipGrad in Human Resource Management?
The one year Diploma for Graduates (DipGrad) Endorsed in Human Resource Management offers you a great opportunity to diversify your current degree - effectively adding a further major, retrain, or update your existing qualifications and provides a useful entry point into the HR profession.
You may also find the DipGrad in Human Resource Management a useful bridge to postgraduate study.
The structure of the Diploma for Graduates has several benefits. It provides a specialised qualification for students looking to pursue a career in Human Resource Management. It also provides a portfolio of people-management skills for those autonomous professional practitioners who have completed an undergraduate qualification in another field. This qualification has the benefit of offering students who have majored within other disciplines/fields the opportunity to undertake a transitional qualification which can then act as a platform for postgraduate studies within the field of Management.
