Business Management (Human Resources Management) (BSc)

The BSc Business Management (Human Resources Management) programme builds on the general foundation of business modules by examining the design and functioning of work and organisations, the regulatory environment and the societal context surrounding the workplace, and the techniques that are used to manage people at work. Alongside this, the programme covers strategy, information, finance and accounting, operations and marketing to ensure that students have a general foundation in the business disciplines as well as the HRM specialism. The programme reflects the growth of the HR profession and the increased focus on people management in many organisations in both the public and private sectors.

This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
