Introduction

In accordance with the University’s mission ‘Making Knowledge Work’, the School of Management aims to provide programmes that educate individuals such as, managers, professionals, practitioners and business specialists, and thereby improve the quality of management as a profession and the quality of working life and organizations.

The MSc in Employee Relations focuses on the ‘Employment Relationship’ (the nature of the exchange between an organization and its managers and the employees of that organization, which is the focus of study in Employee Relations). It seeks to draw together and share understanding and perspectives from the major stakeholder groups with respect to the employment relationship with firms (unions/union representatives, human resources/HR managers, line managers). As such this programme has been designed and developed in consultation with the Employee Relations Institute and its member organizations (drawn from both employers and unions).

This programme therefore aims to prepare you, as (prospective) managers and employee representatives, to operate as effective practitioners who are able to comply with the highest professional standards and to continuously develop your professional capability. This involves equipping you with the skills and knowledge required to work effectively in changing and challenging environments, and to develop the competencies required to think critically and strategically within an organisational context. This will support you in making a full contribution as an employee representative or as an effective manager, as you develop and support sustainable approaches to engagement, management and organization and develop understanding and practice focused on recognizing the value in the diverse stakeholder perspectives on the employee relationship. As such the programme is aligned with the University’s commitment to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and the School’s membership of UN’s the Principles for Responsible Management (PRME) initiative (see statement on ESD below).

As this is a part-time programme which is focused on the application of learning, it is expected that you will normally be in work or have access to work organizations in which you would locate some of your study. It is recognised, however, that you may not be in work or that your circumstances might change over the duration of the programme. If this is the case then we will work with you to provide access to suitable organizations and/or adapt assessment to suit your personal circumstances. For example, the careers and business engagement team and academic staff at the School will be able to offer support in gaining access for studies if you are interested in the programme and are not currently in work.

The programme is structured formally in three stages (Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma, and Master of Science).

The Certificate stage aims to enhance and develop your understanding of the practices and theory of employee relations and help you consider effective approaches to workplace cooperation and constructive employment relationships. The Diploma stage seeks to build on and further develop your skills and knowledge in the area of employee relations and the employment relationship. It also aims to enhance your learning and organizational contributions now and in the future, so that you will have an increasing impact on the success and development of the organizations in which you are engaged. The Master of Science stage will draw together your learning from the Diploma programme, allow you to apply learning to your workplace and, in doing so, allow you to demonstrate actionable impact of learning on employment.

In terms of admission, the programme emphasizes relevant experience over academic qualifications. Your entry is based, primarily, on your having had significant and relevant experience within organizations and of a role that has an impact on workplace employment relations. Advanced entry to the Diploma and Master of Science stages of the programme is potentially possible on the basis of prior certificated learning or professional experience. More details on admission requirements are included below.

The programme is led by the HRM/OB team at the School of Management. The MSc in Employee Relations seeks to integrate theoretical and practical understanding on the issues it addresses and will draw on practitioners for inputs alongside the HRM/OB academic staff. HRM/OB team members nonetheless have a wealth of both academic and practitioner experience, were commended at the


2008 RAE for their internationally recognised research and have strong links with the business and union communities in the West Yorkshire region and beyond.

Postgraduate Certificate: Delivery and Award You can register for a Postgraduate Certificate award in Employee Relations and complete this by taking the Postgraduate Certificate modules shown above. These will normally be completed over 12 months. The three modules are delivered in parallel through six integrated ‘thematic’ 2-day residential workshops which will look at specific organizational issues from both the employee relations and managerial perspectives. These will be supported through directed independent study and ongoing support provided through the virtual learning environment.

Postgraduate Diploma: Delivery and Award You can register for a Postgraduate Diploma award in Employee Relations. This will normally be completed over 20 months. You will need to complete the Postgraduate Certificate stage as outlined above and then progress to the Diploma stage. This begins with a 4-day residential workshop which will cover Leading and Enhancing Employee Relations and introduce Adding Value in Workplace Relations and Personal Development Planning. You will then progress both of these modules by attending six action learning set meetings where you will work on and report back on your progress with Adding Value in Workplace Relations and your Personal Development Planning. Again, these will be supported through directed independent study and ongoing support provided through the virtual learning environment.

Masters in Science: Delivery and Award You can register for a Master of Science award in Employee Relations. This will normally be completed over 24 months but may be extended to 72 months. You will need to complete the Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma stages as outlined above and then progress to the Master of Science stage. This begins with a 4-day residential workshop which will cover Contemporary Developments in Employee


Relations and introduce Research Methods and the Integrative Work-based Project. You will then complete Research Methods through Distance Learning and will complete your Project with the support and guidance of an academic supervisor.

Whilst University regulations allow for you to condone up to 20 credits (see below) and still achieve an award, it is normally expected that you will have successfully completed and passed all the modules at a prior stage of study prior to commencing on the next stage of the programme.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies

The programme aims through its learning, teaching and assessment to provide you with a safe, supportive and challenging environment through which you can critically reflect on your own and your organizations understanding and practice in respect of employee and workplace relations. Your learning will be primarily directed, supported and reinforced through workshops which will introduce you to key concepts and issues relevant to the programme of study and the effective management, support and leadership of the employment relationship and will provide you with an opportunity to explore and discuss your own practice and debate best practice and cutting edge ideas with colleagues on the programme. Such debate and discussion and the enhance understanding that comes through exploring ideas in this way is integral to the programme.

Workshops will be facilitated and led by Bradford academic staff but will have within them, as tutors, expert practitioners with relevant industry and workplace experience. Workshops will incorporate lectures, small group sessions, cases, exercise, and much will be made of sharing and discussing your own experiences in the class environment. Classes will also use practical application of cases and case studies with oral feedback given in the class. The focus here will be on the utility and application of ideas to real world problems and challenges. Learning, teaching and assessment are all focused on understanding the application, and the complexities of application of the principles discussed to your own and others working environments.

Workshops will also provide you with opportunities for formative assessment and feedback to support you in the development of your studies. An initial induction and orientation with structured guidance on the expectations of studying at University and structured opportunities for formative feedback on assessment activities will be included as part of your learning. This induction and the programme generally have been developed to be inclusive of your particular needs, by, for example, adopting small group seminars and electronic support mechanisms. These electronic mechanisms are integral to the delivery of the programme as you are part-time students who will work remotely from campus much of the time.

In addition, therefore, workshops will be supported and extended through specific activities provided in the virtual learning environment and guided private study. You will be directed to appropriate primary and secondary sources and be required to perform research and presentation exercises. This study will support, extend and


develop the learning gained through workshops and allow you space to develop more detailed and critical consideration of the issues raised across the programme.

Each 10 credits worth of study represents approximately 100 hours' study time. This includes time spent in workshops, in preparation for these and through subsequent directed study as well as time spent working on assessments and directed study (see module descriptors), and will include a balance between individual and collaborative learning, both of which requires you to be highly motivated and willing to develop understanding through self directed and peer to peer study. Opportunities for you to work collaboratively with peers on the programme are included in both workshops and through project assessments.

Project work is integral to the programme’s learning and assessment. At the Postgraduate Certificate Stage you will complete a group project working with one or two peers to explore, in detail, issues from the taught element of the programme at this stage in greater detail across workplaces. The Master of Science programme concludes with an in-depth individual research project focused on transferring and assessing the impact and implications of learning from the programme to the workplace.

As the programme is focused on your impact in the workplace, personal development is particularly important. The Personal Development Planning module act as a focus for this, requiring you to undertake structured personal skills assessment and development, and complete a learning log, portfolio of evidence and reflective account to support this.

The programme offers a fixed diet of modules. There are, therefore, no opportunities for you to select options to focus your studies against your own expectations and needs. However, the projects at Certificate and Master of Science stages and the structure and nature of the ‘Action Learning: Adding Value to Workplace Relations’ module at the Diploma stage will afford you with opportunities to develop and focus your learning against your own expectations within the aims and objective for the programme as a whole.

Formal and summative assessment occurs through a mixture of coursework (group and individual) and presentations (group and individual). To effectively assess whether you have achieved a module’s learning outcomes a combination of assessment approaches are used. For example, group work and presentations may be used to assess your leadership and communication skills and ability to make a convincing business case; individual assignments and written reports may be used to assess your ability to conduct personal research, to make sense of and synthesise current research and advanced scholarship, to critically evaluate options and present solutions; case studies and simulations may be used to assess your understanding of a body of knowledge, the ability to make business decisions with incomplete information and to work as an effective team member; whilst the projects are used to assess your overall capacity to apply learning in realistic situations and develop original solutions to complex problems.

Programme learning outcomes are linked to each stage of study and because each module will support several programme learning outcomes, the design of the assessment may have several components within the word limit. Each component will be assigned an explicit weighting and word count (if appropriate). Synoptic and integrative assessments are used to ensure that you will make links across


managerial and employee relations aspects of the programme. Given the programme’s focus on the application of knowledge on the employment relationship to the workplace, assessments will often ask you to look critically and constructively at your own and/or other working environments in light of your learning from modules/programmes. Skills assessment is by a portfolio including a reflective journal. Details of the assessments employed are provided in the assessment mapping appendix below.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)The University of Bradford is committed to providing all its students with opportunities to learn about sustainable development (SD). The School of Management sees sustainable development as a key business issue and recognises the need for all its graduates to be aware of sustainable development issues, and to understand the way in which their discipline and professional practice can impact on sustainability. The School is a member of UN’s Principles for Responsible Management (PRME) initiative and is working to explicitly integrate ESD into its Learning Teaching and Assessment strategy; in the current EQUIS accreditation documentation the following is stated - as a School we are: “committing ourselves to the principles of education for sustainable development within the curriculum, in line with the University's position as an 'Ecoversity'’ (p5) (see statement on Ecoversity below).

In the context of Ecoversity and the School’s and University’s commitment to ESD, the School has reflected on the issues confronting management education and practice related to SD and has concluded that, where possible and appropriate, there is pedagogic value in incorporating ESD throughout the programme’s modules. This approach supports the programme’s emphasis on developing philosophical understanding, critical thinking and research as a method of problem solving. These are principles embedded within the modules that incorporate the Employee Relations programme.

The key issues that will be emphasized under ESD have been developed through a curriculum review process, referenced against the UNESCO framework for ESD. The key issues, drawn from the UNESCO framework for ESD, are:

Respect for the dignity and human rights of all people throughout the world and a commitment to social and economic justice for all

Respect for the human rights of future generations and a commitment to intergenerational responsibility

Respect for cultural diversity and a commitment to build locally and globally a culture of tolerance, non-violence and peace

Respect and care for the greater community of life in all its diversity which involves the protection and restoration of the Earth's ecosystems.

These represent the foundations on which critical thinking is developed. Many of the programme’s lecturers and supervisors are critical management theorists, whose goal is to root out the (often unthinking) oppression, indignities and injustices that feature in organisational life. As a student who will also be working in and managing or influencing organisations, how your activities contribute to sustainable development is brought into focus by addressing these issues in taught modules and in your personal and collaborative research. Throughout, a critical approach to


sustainable development is adopted and you will be encouraged to consider the nuances of sustainable development statements, the contradictory research evidence that surrounds sustainable development debates, and how theories and knowledge become legitimised.

The University’s policy on ESD, the School of Management’s policy, and the UNESCO statement are in the Programme Handbook.

Assessment Regulations

Whilst this Programme conforms to the general principles set out in the standard University Assessment Regulations for Postgraduate Programmes which are available at the link below, there is one exception to these regulations, which is detailed below.

http://www.bradford.ac.uk/aqpo/ordinances-and-regulations/

WaiverOn completion of the taught element of the programme and at the Interim Exam Board, a student who has 50 credits or more requiring supplementary assessment will not be permitted to proceed to the dissertation stage of the programme. The decision to allow progression will only be reconsidered at the Supplementary Exam Board.

Admission Requirements

The University welcomes applications from all potential students regardless of your previous academic experience; offers are made following detailed consideration of your individual application. Most important in the decision to offer you a place is our assessment of your potential to benefit from your studies and of your ability to succeed on this particular programme. Entrance requirements for each programme will vary but consideration of your application will be based on a combination of your formal academic qualifications and other relevant experience.

The Master of Science in Employee Relations Programme is postgraduate in level but post-experience in entry. It is not necessarily expected that you will have a first degree or prior experience of studying at University. Normal requirements are that you will be expected to demonstrate significant working experience.

While each case will be considered on its merits, if you wish to be admitted at the Postgraduate Certificate stage, you would normally be expected to have a minimum of five years work experience and this will include one year experience of working in a supervisory, managerial or employee representative role. You will be required to submit an application form and supporting references and will be asked to undertake a formal interview with members of the programme team to discuss your understanding and expectations of the programme commitments.

Where you have a first degree this will be considered as part of an overall application. This should be from an approved university, but should not necessarily


http://www.bradford.ac.uk/aqpo/ordinances-and-regulations/

be in business and management. The usual entry requirement is: UK degree minimum 2:2 (honours); International degree gross percentile average (GPA) of 2.5 out of 4.0 or 6.5 out of 10, or overall average of 70 from 100%. Appropriate professional qualifications and evidence of continuing professional development in the workplace will also be considered as part of an overall application.

As the programme is delivered entirely in English, applicants must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language thus, UK educated students must have a GCSE grade C or above. Non-native speakers must have a 6.5 score on IELTS test of English, 94 in the internet-based TOEFL or a score of 60 or more in the Pearson English Test – exceptionally, holders of a UK degree awarded within 2 years prior to entry to the Bradford programme may be exempt from these English test requirements.

Applications for direct entry for the advanced stages of the Programme are possible on the basis of prior certificated learning or professional experience, where you can demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for earlier programme stages. If you have prior certificated learning or professional experience which may be equivalent to parts of this programme, the University has procedures to evaluate this learning in order to provide you with exemptions from specified modules contained within the curriculum. Normally if you are expecting advanced entry, you will have considerably greater work experience (minimum seven years of which at least three would be in a supervisory/managerial/employee representative role).

Please talk to us if you do not fit the standard pattern of entry qualifications or are interested in gaining exemptions for prior certificated learning or professional experience.

The University of Bradford has always welcomed applications from disabled students, and these will be considered on the same academic grounds as are applied to all applicants. If you have some form of disability you may wish to contact the programme team before you apply.
