BSc (Hons) Human Resource Management (Open)
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
Our BSc (Hons) Human Resource Management is designed to provide a distinct academic and practical route into the specialist area of human resource management. Students can apply and develop their knowledge and skills as HR practitioners while exploring HRM from a strategic perspective. This work-based distance learning programme is designed to provide an opportunity for academic recognition to those who are already employed within the discipline of human resource management, or one of its specialist areas, but who have yet to gain academic and professional recognition of their skills and experience.
The programme will seek to develop student's professional competence and enable them to enhance and embellish specific knowledge, skills and abilities relating to their chosen speciality. The BSc (Hons) Human Resource Management is informed by the latest CIPD intermediate level professional standards. In order to achieve professional standing in the HR field great importance must be placed upon professional skills development and the application of knowledge into a distinct range of practical situations.
As a result, the teaching team will take as its underpinning delivery strategy the 'student as producer' concept, and will actively encourage and expect students to develop their own approaches to assessment tasks through the application of theoretical concepts to their own working environment.
