Cork University Business School’s HR Programmes Secure International Accreditation

Both of Cork University Business School’s Human Resource Management programmes have been accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

An association with over 160,000 members worldwide, the CIPD has re-accredited the MSc Human Resource Management and the Higher Diploma in Human Resource Management at CUBS following a rigorous re-accreditation process.

CIPD accreditation enhances the degrees awarded by both programmes, as graduates will enter the workforce with a core knowledge that has been collaboratively developed by CIPD members, business leaders, industry experts and partner organisations.

Graduates of MSc Human Resource Management and the Higher Diploma in Human Resource Management are also eligible to apply for Associate Membership of the CIPD, with an opportunity to upgrade to Chartered Membership depending on their experience.

Given CIPD’s size and global reach, membership can help raise the profile of CUBS HR graduates and open doors to new job opportunities.

Adopting a strategic focus, the MSc Human Resource Management is delivered by internationally renowned faculty and senior HR professionals.

The programme is designed to successfully deal with the challenges facing the HR function in contemporary organisations such as data analytics, talent development and the promotion of healthy workplaces.

Designed for early career professionals, the Higher Diploma in Human Resource Management is an entry route into the HR profession by providing graduates with the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required by modern HR professionals, whether in generalist or specialist roles.

Female students who have applied for either programme can also apply for the CUBS 30% Club Management Scholarship. Designed to help promote women in senior Project Management or HR roles, the CUBS 30% Club Management Scholarships consists of 100% tuition fees.

To apply for one of the scholarships, applicants must meet the minimum entry requirements for either programme, and submit a 1,000-word letter of application outlining how the MSc Human Resource Management or the Higher Diploma in Human Resource Management can help them to achieve their career goals.

The deadline for scholarship submissions is 22nd July 2022.
