Programme Overview: MBA with Diploma in Human Resource Management - 18 months
The MBA with Diploma in Human Resource Management - 18 months at LEAP Education is a degree-level qualification
delivered 100% online for learners who need flexible, career-focused study without leaving employment.
The programme carries 180 credits
and is designed to be completed in 18 months,
with structured tutor support from enrolment through to certification.
Global companies are no longer hiring HR managers who simply process payroll and schedule interviews; they are recruiting strategic partners who can predict workforce trends and align talent acquisition with revenue targets.
You will move from administrative execution to boardroom strategy, capable of designing compensation frameworks that retain top performers in volatile markets. You will lead organizational restructuring projects, balancing legal compliance with operational efficiency to protect the business from risk. You will command the respect of C-suite executives by presenting data-driven workforce plans that directly support expansion goals and profitability.
This path is for HR generalists, people operations specialists, and team leaders with three to five years of experience who are currently stuck in transactional roles across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. You are ready to break through the glass ceiling into senior positions like HR Business Partner, Talent Strategy Director, or Head of People, but you need a qualification that carries weight in multinational hiring panels. This credential provides the strategic business acumen required to compete with MBA holders for leadership roles in global enterprises.
