Programme Design

If you are interested in a career in Human Resource Management then this programme will not only give you the key skills and knowledge required, but it has been designed to mirror the professional qualifications in this field offered by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).  This will enable you to progress quickly to their postgraduate diploma after you have graduated and help improve your career prospects.  This area of business has developed rapidly in recent years and will be of interest to students who are particularly interested in the ‘people’ aspect of running an organisation.   On this programme you will gain a thorough grounding in all areas of business and specialist, in-depth knowledge of aspects of the Human Resources function such as personnel resourcing, employee relations, leadership and development.

Programme Structure

As with all our undergraduate business programmes you study six core modules in your first year, covering the key functional areas of business and developing your personal and study skills.  In your second and final years you progress to more specialised and in-depth modules about Human Resource Management, building your professional skills and knowledge at a strategic level.
