We are pleased to announce that the duration for BSc Human Resource Management at the University of Leicester has been reduced.
Applicants will now have the opportunity to commence their studies at the second stage (HE Diploma) instead of needing to undertake the first level (HE Certificate).
This means that students are able to obtain the full undergraduate degree in four years at a total cost of £9,000.
The entry requirements remain the same; with successful applicants entering the Diploma level expected to provide evidence of some study post 16 (e.g. A-Levels or equivalent, or a professional qualification) and a minimum of three years’ work experience. The English language requirements also remain unchanged.
Individuals with offers for the November intake will be contacted by the Hub by the end of this week to advise them of the change and presented with the opportunity to commence their studies at the Diploma stage.
There will be no impact on students already on the course.
