As such, the programme is designed to provide a standard, broad based and good foundation in HRM as well as to adequately prepare the students to confront and manage challenges of employer-employee relationship. The curriculum has been designed taking into consideration the latest development in the field of Human Resource Management both in theory and practice.

As a result, graduates of this department are exempted to write only the final stage of CIPM exam and therefore will be inducted as Chartered Personnel Managers.
