The BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management programme offers students a current and integrated business education covering the main disciplines and operational areas of business, with a specific focus on the function and discipline of Human Resource Management. The curriculum aims to challenge students in their ways of thinking, behaving and learning, and issues of ethics and ethical decision-making, sustainability and global citizenship are embedded throughout. It actively seeks input from the external environment and student learning is grounded in the external context wherever appropriate through, for instance, external speakers and assessments that require students to test out concepts in practice and reflect on their experience of organizations. In addition, all students are encouraged by the curriculum to actively pursue work experience of some kind, i.e. via placement, internship, or volunteering. Student achievement is supported by a clear personal development strand to the programme that is designed to develop transferable skills and brain habits and facilitate the transition into higher education and underpins employability and lifelong learning.
