Studying Human Resources masters

Arturs

Hi guys, I really need your advice in this.

I have recently graduated BSc 2:1 in non-HR relevant course.

I  accepted an offer to study masters in Human Resources as I thought to work in that field after graduation or to be a manager I like both.

Problem is they offering CMI level 7 after graduation and they don't have CIPD accreditation.

Is it worth to study one year and maybe be a manager in the future as for HR this will not be enough?

Looking forward to hear your opinion.

Thanks.

  • HR is very hard to get into. Generally people find experience backed up by qualifications the best route. There are a number of threads (if you use the search) of people with high level qualifications and no experience struggling to get their first step into HR - a few manage it but many find it a very slow and frustrating process. So by all means study for your Masters but don't expect it to open as many doors as you think it might and expect to have to start pretty far down the food chain.

    What I would say however is that in the current climate and given the likely recession then studying a Masters is probably a better use of a year (if you can afford it) than being unemployed for a year or doing a totally unrelated job. Previous evidence shows that people who graduate during a recession have a long term career impact.

    Good luck
