Course Overview

Organizations need to be strategically managed if they are to survive conditions of global competition and continual environmental change. It is increasingly recognized that the quality of an organization’s human resources and the way they are managed are major factors in its ability to gain and sustain competitive advantage.

This course meets the needs of those wishing to become human resource management (HRM) professionals and also provides a foundation for postgraduate study. You will undertake core management subjects as well as more specialist HRM modules. The main functions of HRM are explored throughout your four years on the degree programme, these being the recruitment and selection of employees, the training and professional development of employees, the relationship between employers and employees, and the rewarding of employees. You will also study the ethical and legal dimensions of employing people in today’s environment. In addition, the course develops your skills in the communication of information and ideas and in the analysis of complex problems in managing people.

You will undertake seven compulsory modules in Year 1 and six in Year 2 of the programme. Year 3 comprises a professional placement in the area of HRM. In Year 4 you undertake five compulsory modules and one optional module. This allows you to tailor your final year studies.
