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.

  • Hi Artus,

    I'm not sure if this will help you at all but I just thought I'd share my experience which pretty much mirrors what Keith says.

    I graduated with a BA Hons in Criminology and Psychology then completed a MAHRM with CIPD Level 7 straight after. I had some management experience but really struggled to get a job without sole HR experience. I was lucky enough (eventually) to get a HR Admin job in a company that wanted to train and develop someone; 2 years later I'm now a HR Advisor but it hasn't been easy. I would say that if you do decide to do the Masters, it won't necessarily open any doors and you will probably have to start at the bottom but once you have your foot in it'll be worth it in the long run. And if you can get the CIPD accreditation you might as well.

    Good luck!

    I have little bit similar degree to yours as I have done BSc Policing which involved management stuff too.

    Unfortunately this masters gives only cmi level 7 which is senior management and director leadership and management certificate but not cipd unfortunately but thanks for advice both of you I think i will try and see..
