How much harder is a Level 7?

Chelcey

Hello, I have a business undergrad degree and my CIPD level 5 (that I actually found hard due to not being great at essay writing and balancing it with job) I am not a stand along HR BP and my company are encouraging me to complete my Level 7 at a local uni, is it a lot more difficult? I expect it will be harder just trying to see how much harder it is, could someone give me details of the assignments, like how many exams and the length of the exam, and how many written assessments and their word count etc. 

I just want to gage the workload before I commit.

  • Hi Chelcey, like Hayley below I went straight from L3 (which I did some time ago) and actually started my L7 yesterday. So its hard to comment on the exact changes you would notice. So far I would say its not a huge step up from degree level. The big difference my tutor kept mentioning was that at L7 it about critically evaluating the topics/policies/research. A lot of "So what?", "Why?" and "What does that mean for X?", its a move away from being descriptive and a need to back up what you are saying with research/journals/etc.

    I'm studying through MOL, and there's a lot of assignments and tasks to complete between sessions too, and also as Hayley mentioned two national exams.

    Its still early to fully assess the workload but at the moment I am finding it manageable.
