  4. What are the exemptions for someone who has done a diploma already in HRM but wants to persue a bachelor degree under distance.

    1. At the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) in Zambia, if you have already completed a diploma in Human Resource Management (HRM) and wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree in HRM through distance education, you may be eligible for certain exemptions. NIPA’s admission criteria for degree programmes include the possibility of second-year entry for applicants who hold a diploma in the same field from a reputable institution, along with a minimum of 5 ‘O’ Level credits. This suggests that you might be able to enter directly into the second year of the bachelor’s degree programme in HRM, provided your previous diploma and qualifications align with NIPA’s requirements.

      For the distance learning programme, NIPA offers a Bachelor of Human Resources Management, which typically spans 4 years (8 semesters). Since you already hold a diploma in the same field, you might qualify for exemptions that could reduce the duration of your study.
