BA Human Resource Management

Our degrees have a modular structure. This means that compulsory modules provide you with the core knowledge and skills that you need, while optional and discovery modules allow you to shape your course to suit your personal interests and career aspirations.

A suite of compulsory modules in Year 1 will give you a broad introduction to the nature of businesses and those who work within them. You’ll study organisational behaviour the sociology of work, organisation theory and an understanding of the nature of leadership. At the same time, you’ll put this into the context of the broader economy and the institution which directly impact on business and employees.

You’ll build on this foundation in the following year, when you’ll examine how the principles of organisational behaviour work in practice. Compulsory modules will also consider management culture, the reshaping of the organisation in the 21st century, industrial relations and the legal and economic context in which businesses operate and recruit and retain employees. Optional modules will give you the chance to examine a broader topic like corporate social responsibility or marketing.

When you reach your final year, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of employment law and examine the challenges and principles of human resource management. In addition, you’ll select from a wider range of optional modules on topics from management consulting to gender and equality in the workplace, or employment relations around the world. The culmination of your studies is your dissertation – an independently researched project on a topic of your choice that allows you to demonstrate your knowledge and skills.

This degree is an excellent qualification for individuals seeking a career in human resource management and other management roles that demand an understanding of the human element of business.
