This course provides you with a contemporary business education that offers a solid foundation for success in a business career or in human resource management.

The vocational aspects of the course are underpinned by current and future developments in industry and commerce. The course prepares you for a professional career in business with an inclination towards human resource management by developing knowledge and understanding of business disciplines, encouraging critical investigation in business related topics and developing independent personal development skills.
The course recognises that people management is a key force for successful economic growth and thus the course emphasises the development of knowledge and understanding of a range of people management and business practices and the ability to apply them effectively in an innovative manner.
The course provides an interdisciplinary approach to global citizenship and will help you develop your own understandings of complex and contested notions in the business environment. You will also develop digital literacy through the use of applications software used by contemporary organisations and gain understanding of managerial systems and their impact upon organisations. Digital Literacy skills are also developed through the engagement with the ‘e’ aspects of the learning process through the process of engagement with ‘e’ materials, tasks, personal development planning and collaborative learning.
