About this course

Do you want to play a leading role in a company’s performance by understanding and utilising people to deliver competitive advantage?

Course description

As organisations change, grow, and develop internationally, insight and professional knowledge of the part people play in the organisation is essential.

The course is accredited by the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel Development) and is mapped to the core knowledge and core behaviours of the Profession Map at Associate level. Therefore, on successful completion of the BSc (Hons) Human Resources and Business Management programme you will gain Associate (Assoc CIPD) membership status, giving you additional standing as it is nationally recognised by employers.
