BA Joint Hons Human Resource Management & Psychology

Why this course?

We offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK

The course covers areas such as recruitment and selection, training and developing and managing conflict at work. These are an important part of the management process in all organisations.

In Psychology, you’ll study human behaviour. Psychological research is motivated by the desire to understand both general behaviour (how we learn, remember, co-ordinate our actions and interact with others) and the reason for the differences between individuals such as personality or intelligence.

A joint Honours degree is not accredited for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership by the British Psychological Society.

The majority of classes involve a final unseen exam which is normally at the end of the semester. This is typically supplemented by individual and/or group coursework.

Students normally have one opportunity to be re-assessed for a failed class. Exam resits usually take place during the summer.

A range of assessment techniques are used including business reports, case studies, essays, presentations, individual and group projects, learning journals and peer assessments.
