COURSE CURRICULUM

The Business Management with Human Resource Management course at Norwich Business School offers a structured and progressive four-year learning experience. In the first year, students gain a broad understanding of core business functions through six key modules, including marketing, finance, data management, and organisational behaviour. A practical Applied Business Project also introduces students to purpose-driven business strategies, encouraging them to explore societal challenges and create meaningful solutions. This foundational year allows students to understand various aspects of business, providing the flexibility to switch courses if desired. In the second year, the program becomes more focused on human resource management. Students study Managing People, Developing Talent, and Strategic Awareness and Analysis, which delve into recruitment, retention, career development, and strategy formulation in a dynamic and globalised workforce. These modules prepare students for leadership and HR roles, equipping them with insights into employee management and the strategic impact of HR. In the final year, the emphasis is on strategic management and international HR issues. Students take modules in Strategic Management and Globalisation and People Management, exploring topics such as global staffing, cultural diversity, migration, and the international dimensions of HRM. These subjects help students understand the complexities of managing people across different cultural and institutional environments. Throughout the course, there is a consistent focus on personal development, teamwork, and communication, fostering skills essential for the modern workplace. Students are also encouraged to think critically and act strategically, preparing them to lead in global business environments. By graduation, students will have developed a comprehensive understanding of business management with a strong HR focus, along with practical experience and academic insight that make them well-prepared for diverse career paths in HR, consultancy, or general management.
