The BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management program provides a comprehensive pathway to develop both strategic business knowledge and specialised human resource expertise. The foundation year introduces students to professional development, business environment and functions, business information management, entrepreneurship and innovation, responsible business, and leadership and management projects, establishing a strong basis for further study. In Year 1, students build on this foundation with financial decision making, business analysis, preparing for professional practice, business, economy and society, people, management and organisations, and introduction to marketing, with academic language support for international and EU students. Year 2 focuses on human resource specialisms, including resourcing and development for diversity, HR analytics and the labour market, reward and performance, management research and analysis, employment law, and progressing professional practice, with an optional study abroad semester for international exposure. Year 3 offers practical experience through optional full-year work placements, study abroad opportunities, or blended placements combining work and study abroad, allowing students to apply their learning in real-world contexts. In Year 4, students engage with advanced topics such as strategic leadership for responsible organisational change, transforming self and organisations, contemporary issues in business and management, and employment relations, alongside optional modules in ethics, futures of work, popular culture, and applied research or consultancy projects. The program integrates academic study, practical application, and professional development, preparing graduates for strategic roles in human resource management, leadership, and organisational development.
