Introduction:
For businesses today, managing people is crucial. Human Resource Management (HRM) deals with the management of an organisation’s workforce, from the most junior member of staff to the chief executive.
Organisational success depends upon developing appropriate methods of recruitment and selection, motivation, reward, training and development, grievance and discipline, performance management and career progression.
HR specialists work closely with operational managers to manage the employment relationship, enhance individual and team performance and ensure that workers are fairly treated. Indeed all managers need to possess HRM skills. HRM also attempts to increase the organisation’s ability to adapt within its environment through broadening the skills of the workforce. As such, HR specialists also need to have a good understanding of the labour market and their organisation’s wider social, economic and political environments.

Course programme

Structure and content

In Semesters 1 and 2 you will be taught core modules alongside students from Business Studies, Management, Marketing and Retail Marketing. These early modules are designed to give you a solid grounding in the general principles of business, management, marketing, human resources and organisations. In these first two semesters, additional modules are taken from elsewhere in the University; many students take modules in related subject areas, such as: Business Law, Economics, Psychology or Sociology.


Year 2 entry is available for suitably qualified candidates who can expect a seamless transition into Semester 3.


From Year 2 onwards, students take specialist modules in Human Resource Management covering areas such as techniques and policy within HRM; strategic HRM; learning and development; employment relations; and contemporary issues and change in HRM, work and employment. The teaching is comprehensive, covering the wider labour market and political environment, how HRM operates within organisations and the implications of HRM for individual workers. In addition to specialist HRM modules, optional modules are chosen from Business Studies, Management or from one of the other subjects for which you are qualified, e.g. Marketing. Students are encouraged to take electives in Accounting & Finance for Managers and Economics for Managers.


Students complete a dissertation on an HRM issue of their choice in their final semester, alongside developing their employability skills.


You will have numerous opportunities to develop appropriate work-related skills at every stage of your studies, culminating in the Professional Development and Practice module in Semester 8 which helps you prepare for entering the workplace.
