Full-time students spend approximately 12 hours per week in classes, which involves a blend of directed and independent study. Part-time students spend around six hours per week in classes, held on one afternoon and evening each week.

Knowledge of the subject area is gained through lectures, tutorials, directed learning, independent study and workplace engagement.

Lectures are used to introduce key HRM and business concepts and theories with student participation and discussion encouraged throughout.

Student led tutorials aim to develop problem solving skills and focuses the application of theoretical concepts to HRM business situations.

Your studies will be underpinned by the latest research undertaken by the South Wales Business School Research Group. This means you will be taught by academics who are at the forefront of their specialist field.

Discussion within teams and groups is an important element in the teaching and learning process which facilitates a deeper understanding of the subject matter. This allows students to develop their own knowledge and experience through drawing on the knowledge and experience of others.
