COURSE CURRICULUM

This Human Resource Management programme with Advanced Practice provides students with advanced knowledge of managing people and organisations in a global and rapidly changing business environment. The course combines academic learning with practical experience, enabling students to develop the strategic, analytical and professional skills required for successful HR careers. The Advanced Practice module gives students the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge in real-world settings through research projects, employer-led opportunities, virtual projects or internships with external organisations. This practical experience enhances employability, professional confidence and workplace skills through reflective evaluation and personal development. The Business Project allows students to bring together their learning and apply it to a professional challenge, developing independent thinking, problem-solving abilities and the capacity to deliver effective business solutions. The Comparative and Cross-cultural Human Resource Management module explores how cultural, institutional, historical and political differences influence HR practices, workplace communication, leadership styles and employee behaviour across international organisations. Through Critical Business Inquiry, students develop advanced research skills by analysing real organisational challenges, conducting literature reviews, applying qualitative and quantitative research methods, and producing evidence-based solutions through professional reports. The People, Management and Organisation module focuses on key HR concepts including talent management, employee performance, equality, diversity and organisational behaviour, helping students understand how effective people management contributes to business success. The Reimagining Sustainable Management in Global Markets module develops knowledge of responsible leadership, sustainability strategies, globalisation, international trade and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Students explore how organisations can balance economic growth with environmental responsibility and social accountability while developing innovative approaches to future business challenges. By combining theoretical knowledge, practical experience and responsible management principles, this programme prepares graduates for careers in human resource management, talent development, organisational consultancy, employee relations, leadership and global business roles.
