Postgraduate
Diploma - Human Resource Management
(Term 2: January - April)
The successful management of
people is recognised as fundamental
to the success of business and not-for-
profit organisations. Current
research is indicating that organi-sations
are achieving success through
recognising the people difference.
Human Resources Management
(HRM) is the modern concept for
delivering this difference.
This pathway will aim to provide the
opportunity to examine best practice
and the contribution of HRM to the
success of the business. You will recognise
the importance of integration of HRM
activities with the wider business strategy
and develop knowledge, skills and
attitudes required for the effective
management of people.
At Diploma level you will complete
four modules:
Strategic Management &
Organisational Dynamics:
This module explores the role of strategic
management in relation to the nature of
organisational decision-making and the
effective management of organisations.
The student will be exposed to the language
and particular models through which
strategic management is currently
practised. Critical evaluation of under-standings
of strategic management will
be made through recognition of those
dynamic forces which can act to subvert
more rational decision-making and implementation
procedures. The implications
of such a critique will be explored in regard
to issues of management style, change
and control in organisations.
HRM Professional
Practice Workshop:
This module provides an opportunity
for students to practice the various
skills required in handling a range of HR
activities such as recruitment, selection,
grievance and training to recognise
the importance of learning styles.
Strategic HRM &
Virtual Organisation:
The purpose of this module is to enable
students to understand the potential
relationship between managerial analysis
and decision-making and current HR
development and approaches. It also aims
to highlight how digital technologies
are changing the nature of organisations
and their human resource strategy.
The students should adopt a critical
perspective to gug-inspired fads and
learn to recognise the important current
themes of HR theory and practice.
International Human
Resource Management
This module is designed to build
upon the Human Resource Management
foundation at the Certificate stage
to develop a critical understanding of
international human resource management
strategies and practices. You will
develop the skills necessary to analyse,
compare and contrast a variety of HR
strategies and practices and emphasise
the strategic relationship of people
management and the delivery of
business objectives.
