The ability to recruit, motivate and manage employees effectively is considered one of the keys to success in business. Furthermore, ensuring that employees develop professionally is essential for achieving competitive advantages, given that people are one of the key resources in any business.

This course focuses on the key role of people in a successful business. You will learn to understand the importance of the people behind the business and how they help the business prosper.

Designed to give you a thorough grounding in core business skills and concepts, this degree provides you with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the key aspects of Human Resource Management, including how to source, develop, reward, and utilise employees to deliver strategic effects for organisations of all sizes and types.
