Students will study core business and HR disciplines and will also gain an insight into: how people work in organisations — their motivation, group dynamics and leadership qualities; the management of human resources — development, reward, resourcing and employee relations; contextual influences such as employment legislation; plus the role human resources play in meeting organisations’ strategic goals.
