Human Resource Management BA(Hons)

Why choose this course?

If you are interested in business but would like to focus your studies on human resource management, this course is ideal. It provides a balance of academic theory and practical application, together with an optional work placement year (in which you can develop your skills within real business situations) or study exchange.

What will you study?

In studying core business and HR disciplines, you will also gain an insight into how people work in organisations – their motivation, group dynamics and leadership qualities. You will also explore the management of human resources, contextual influences such as employment legislation, and the role that human resources play in meeting the strategic goals of organisations.

All our business courses have a shared first year so you can easily transfer to the second year of a different course if your interests change.
