HRODC would like to initiate and maintain a typology that will distinguish between its 3 main categories of Postgraduate Diploma:

1.      HRODC General Postgraduate Diploma

2.      HRODC Specialist Postgraduate Diploma

3.      HRODC Cumulative Postgraduate Diploma

HRODC General Postgraduate Diploma refers to the Postgraduate Diploma, which consists of generic courses, taken within a three-year period. HRODC Specialist Postgraduate Diploma must be construed to mean a Postgraduate Diploma that consists of related courses. These include: HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Human Resource Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Executive Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Real Estate Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Women in Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Project Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Communication and Information Management.

HRODC Cumulative Postgraduate Diploma relates to a Diploma that is granted through the addition of courses taken at intervals over a 6-year period. This type of Postgraduate Diploma might include both General and Specialist groupings. The requirement incorporates the ‘180-HourRule’, wherein a delegate should accumulate at least 180 study-hours, in order to qualify for a Postgraduate Diploma.

The 50% minimum attainment requirement for the HRODC Postgraduate Diploma and HRODC Diploma - Postgraduate - is an attestation to our concern for quality and exceptional performance. This ‘standard’ is in line with most British Universities, some having recently moved away from their traditional 40% attainment requirement. One of the several ways in which HRODC assures academic and professional quality is to ensure that most of its consultants hold a PHD in the their areas of specialism. The lowest qualification of any consultant at HRODC is an MA and, or, MSc. These qualifications are in addition to relevant experience and continuous development. While most applicants to HRODC Postgraduate Diploma and HRODC Diploma - Postgraduate - Programmes are holders of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees, some being Professors of internationally renowned Universities, others do not hold a degree but have substantial work and life experience to excel in the courses. In addition, HRODC has instituted the ‘180-HourRule’, wherein a delegate should accumulate at least 180 study-hours, in order to qualify for a Postgraduate Diploma. Specialist Diploma such as the HRODC ‘Postgraduate Diploma in Executive Management’ consists of 540 hours.

In addition to the above, HRODC has incorporated the following additional Quality measures in its Postgraduate Degree Programme – These can also be found in the document Regulation For HRODC Postgraduate Degrees – MBA, MA, MSc Programmes

1.      The length of the Dissertation will be between 15,000 and 20,000 words. Higher or lower limits can only be accepted through special dispensation, tabled through their Dissertation Tutor;

2.        students will be assigned one Main Dissertation Supervisor, for formal tuition, and a Dissertation Mentor, who will provide them with informal advice, in conjunction with their Main Dissertation Supervisor;

3.        students’ Viva Voce, or Oral, Examination will be conducted within 3 months of the submission of their Dissertation;

4.      The Dissertation Examination will be conducted by an External and an Internal Examiner;

5.      The External Examiner will be drawn from a recognized University and will be an Academic in the Discipline, who is not otherwise associated with HRODC;
