A successful business is the product of its parts, and effective human resource management is a key element.

Professional and responsible management of human resources (HRM) is a vital component of managing any business: facilitating the wellbeing of its employees, supporting senior management and helping staff achieve personal and business objectives.

By studying BSc Business and Human Resource Management at Essex Business School, you will develop the knowledge and skills to become a successful and progressive Human Resource professional. As well as covering a range of general management topics such as business strategy, marketing, accounting and operations and supply chain management, you will also cover topical human resources management issues. For example, you will explore:

  • The foundations of HRM

  • Strategic human resource management

  • Diversity and inclusion

  • Ethical business

  • International HRM
