BA Business Management Human Resource Management
Course overview
The BA Business and Management degree combines the study of business and management with the essential abilities students need to be a successful manager who can adapt to change and make a real impact.
This degree allows students to concentrate on specific areas of interest by choosing one of five pathways: Entrepreneurship, Finance, Human Resource Management, International Supply Chain and Logistics Management, and Marketing.
In the second year of the BA Business & Management (Human Resource Management) course, students focus specifically on the Human Resource Management route, and their final year involves studying core Human Resource Management subjects in greater depth, alongside having the opportunity to select other optional modules that align with their interests or career aspirations within the broader business and management field.
Students will learn through lectures, group discussions, practical workshops, lectures from industry professionals, tutorials, and their progress will be assessed through essays, presentations, reports, practical assignments, and portfolios. The course also uses its connections with businesses to offer guest lectures, field trips, and a project where you work on a real business problem.
