Have you been accepted for these courses yet? If not then it is too early to be wrrying about which is better.

The 2 that stand out are Manchester and London.

Dimitrios, when you post a question, please only post it in one place

hi kieran thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. i have been offered a place from Robert Gordon University and from Leicester (both are CIPD accredited). my dilemma is to choose a university from the perspective of its ranking or purely of its courses that i find most interesting? some of the above universities dont have a good position on the timesonline ranking list but their courses are well interesting for example Surrey university.

what are your thoughts about studying 1 year full time in the Groningen University, The Netherlands – MSc HRM? what is the reputation of it?

hey sarab my option out of the 5 will be sheffield university as i like the course context. hope this helps. take into account the tuition fees too, the lifestyle of each uni, its research interest, resources etc

Hi Dimitrios

Always go for the course structure you prefer, this is much more important than ranking.

@Sarab, Strathclyde is by far the best business school of the 5 you mention.

hello, I ´m a new member in this site and I would like to get information about HR master in uk. I have a friend who studied in Aston and he told me good features about this university and the program as well.
I work as a hr manager, currently, and I ´m interested in a hr master with a high level. From my point of view, lectures are so important like the relevance of university when you are applying to any university. For this reason, I usually check for researching or publications of hr lectures.
This facts are also essencial for me:
1.-the university is acredited by CIPD.
2.- the program have a strong orientation in development

Anyway, I ´m considering to apply to strachtclyde, Lancaster, Machester, or Aston.
Anybody could to tell me feedback about this?
Thanks a lot.
