Human Resource Management PgDip/MA: Recognition and accreditation

Kingston Business School is a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Approved Centre. Across the world, CIPD is recognised as a mark of quality which distinguishes Kingston as a leading research-led teaching institution in the field of HR management and development.

The CIPD have also approved our HRM courses, so successful graduates have the opportunity to become Associate members of the CIPD.

Judy Whittaker, former CIPD Membership and Education Director, said: "We are very impressed by the postgraduate research carried out at Kingston and the high quality of teaching. The HRM School* has excellent industry contacts and a strong commitment to the human resources profession."

We have also been recognised as a CIPD centre of excellence for 25 years, until the CIPD retired this form of recognition in 2011.

(*now known as the Department of Management)
