Human Resource Management

Become a human resources specialist and learn how businesses can get the most out of their employees and develop the skills for successful people management.

Skills

Make your mark with the professional human resource skills that matter most to employers.

With our BSc Human Resource Management, you’ll acquire the key attributes employers value and gain a firm understanding of core aspects of human resources, including:

• Organisational behaviour
• Resourcing and talent planning
• Employment law
• Responsible management

You will finish the course confident in your personal values, with the knowledge and experience to solve problems ethically as well as an ongoing passion for personal and professional development.

We’ll also help you to increase your employability through annual Business Readiness modules.

As your people management skills grow, you’ll develop the commercial acumen, emotional intelligence, and self-reflection you need to realise your goals.

And you can put these skills into practice with an optional work placement after Year 2. Fully supported by our Placement Office, this is a chance to gain real-world experience before you graduate and get paid while you make valuable connections.
