Getting in
As the university states it
The minimum entry requirements for the PGDip will be a recognised and relevant graduate or postgraduate level professional qualification at Level 5/6 or higher. We also look for at least 12 months current working experience within a personnel or HR department, or related area. If you hold a CPP, CTP, HNC/HND or DipHE qualifications or equivalent you will usually need to pass the ‘University Certificate in HRM’ to gain a place on the Diploma. If you have extensive HR or people management experience without the minimum entry requirements, you may be offered an interview with the course leader or an entrance test to assess your suitability for admission to the course. If your first language is not English you must provide evidence of your English language capability at IELTS Level 6.5 or its equivalent.
