Why study this course?

This Business Management and Human Resource Management degree course is perfect if you want to study business but you’re also a people person who wants to help others reach their full potential.

You’ll learn how to deal with issues and challenges facing the world of business while also developing the skills needed to attract and retain the right people, at the right time. If you want to, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore employment law.

The course has also been accredited the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) since June 2021. Therefore, students who successfully complete it and are in active CIPD membership become Associate Members of CIPD upon graduation. They also receive a PDF membership confirmation letter and a hard copy membership certificate.

This Business Management and Human Resource Management bachelor's (Hons) degree focuses on understanding businesses, the business environment and how to manage the people within them.

Human resource management (HRM) is a key driving force for successful businesses. Because we recognise this element is so important to business strategy, we’ve developed a course that doesn’t just teach you about core business principles, but also incorporates the people side of things too.

In your first year, you’ll develop a solid foundation of business and human resource management principles that you’ll build on in your second and third year. You’ll also learn how to apply business theory to practical scenarios and learn how to acquire, motivate, develop and retain talent.

As the business landscape has changed in recent years, more people are needed to work flexibly across roles. This course is designed to educate you on change management and how to embrace this, aiming to make you more employable when you graduate.
