BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management

In today’s service-driven economy, an organisation’s greatest asset is its people. Successfully managing employees, keeping them motivated, planning their training and career development, as well as recognising their achievements are all crucial to organisational success. That’s why a great Human Resources (HR) department can have such a powerful impact.

This degree in Business and Human Resource Management will equip you with in-depth knowledge of HR management within the broader framework of key management disciplines. Offered by Norwich Business School (NBS) within the Faculty of Social Sciences at UEA, this degree will prepare you for a variety of roles in business, including general management, consultancy, and human resources. At UEA, we focus on evidence-based management.

You’ll learn to pose questions and challenge assumptions, as well as how to use evidence to make your own decisions and back them up. The course is designed to allow you flexibility in your studies while providing a clear focus on people management. People are widely regarded as a key source of competitive advantage in business.

Through this course, you’ll explore why that is and how individuals can drive organisational transformation. You’ll also develop the skills to manage people effectively and have the chance to work with others on your course. Managing a ‘live’ HR project is just one experience which will enhance your CV and give you a competitive edge with employers.
