Program overview
A six month masters completion for applicants who already hold a relevant postgraduate diploma, consisting of the dissertation and any remaining core human resource modules.
At GBP 6,175 over six months this is the cheapest route to a British masters at this campus, and it carries six entry windows.
Master of Science - Human Resource Management (Top-up) is taught at the University of Gloucestershire, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the human resource management masters top-up is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the human resource management masters top-up, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the human resource management masters top-up plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the human resource management masters top-up does not support a family move.
Applicants to Master of Science - Human Resource Management (Top-up) need a completed postgraduate certificate or diploma with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with writing 6.0, and tuition for the human resource management masters top-up is recorded at GBP 6,175. Gloucestershire charges no application fee, and Gloucestershire charges no application fee, and an India Scholarship of GBP 4,000 to 5,000 may apply to the human resource management masters top-up automatically. The human resource management masters top-up lists six entry windows, the most flexible calendar at this campus.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed postgraduate certificate or diploma, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with writing 6.0 and no other band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 88 with reading 22, writing 24, speaking 23 and listening 21; or PTE Academic 70. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted.
- Application and deposit: The University of Gloucestershire charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: Gloucestershire runs an India Scholarship worth GBP 4,000 to 5,000 for self-funded international students, awarded automatically with no separate application. A Global Scholarship of GBP 1,500 also applies, and merit awards run higher again. You cannot hold more than one university scholarship, so the India award is normally the one to pursue. Confirm the exact figure on your offer letter rather than assuming the maximum.
- Additional requirement: This is a SIX MONTH completion route. The UK Graduate Route generally requires a course of at least twelve months studied in Britain, so confirm with the university and UKVI whether this route qualifies before applying. Entry requires a recognised postgraduate diploma. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted at this campus on any course. Plan for IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT or PTE Academic instead.
- Work rights: the human resource management masters top-up is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
