BA Business and Management (Human Resource Management)
About this course
Business and management with human resource management is a degree that combines broad commercial knowledge with a specific focus on people: how organisations attract, develop, manage, and retain the individuals who make them work. Human resource management draws on organisational psychology, employment law, and management theory to address questions about talent, culture, performance, wellbeing, and the employment relationship. A placement year gives you valuable real-world experience, allowing you to apply theory in practice and gain hands-on experience in recruitment, employee relations, training, and performance management. At the University of Gloucestershire, this three-year full-time programme develops your understanding of business strategy, finance, marketing, and operations alongside the specific knowledge of HRM that employers in the field value. You will study recruitment, employee development, reward management, employment law, and organisational behaviour, developing both the commercial acumen and the people management understanding that HRM professionals need. Entry typically requires around 104 UCAS tariff points. Graduates work in human resources management, talent acquisition, learning and development, employee relations, organisational development, and a wide range of business roles where understanding people and organisations is central. The combination of general business knowledge with HRM specialism is valued by employers across every sector. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in HRM or business, or pursue professional qualifications through the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
