This question is really hard
to answer for me at the moment, especially since I am not from the UK and I
would appreciate any help or comment.<o:p></o:p>
I have a four year business
degree and have worked as an Executive Headhunter in the UK for the past 3
years. Because I want to move into an internal HR role I have decided to study
a Master’s degree.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I can study a Ma in Germany at
a good institution, which costs 1/3 of the UK option. The structure allows to
work along the degree and gain relevant experience. However, of course CIPD is
not included.<o:p></o:p>
Also I have an offer from King’s College,
which includes CIPD<o:p></o:p>
As I might go back to the UK
after my degree I don’t want to lose out on the CIPD requirement which seems to
be very important to employers and am considering taking some additional CIPD
courses such as UK employment law. These are not cheap either.<o:p></o:p>
My question:<o:p></o:p>
My understanding is that the
highest level of CIPD qualification leads to obtain a level similar to a
Master’s. When I read through the course contents of the CIPD I feel that the
subjects are covered in the Master's Programs already. I don’t understand why I
should pay more to learn very similar things?<o:p></o:p>
Where is the difference and
the additional benefit of the CIPD? Does anyone have a recommendation regarding
the best option?<o:p></o:p>
