What is best to do? L5 or Masters?

Callum

Hi all,

I am unsure whether it's best for me to do the CIPD Level 5 qualification or alternatively, do my Masters Degree in Global Human Resources that includes the CIPD membership.

What would people recommend?

Kind Regards,

Callum

  • Peter is right - if you have a way of doing the Masters then that is best. The only bit of caution around that is that if you are not already working in HR, having a Masters can sometimes make it challenging to get your new role - employers may see you as overqualified for an entry level role and be concerned that you will get some experience and then leave quite quickly. A good employer however would see that you having that knowledge is a good thing and be happy to support you to put that knowledge into practice.
