What is the Course about?
Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organisation that focuses on managing people. The objective is having the right people in the right place at the right time. The HRM function deals with recruiting and selecting employees, appraising their performance, deciding what rewards are appropriate, providing suitable training and development opportunities, and providing mechanisms for reducing and avoiding conflicts. Managing people is challenging and the course assists with building a work environment where employees are more motivated.
If you like working with people, this course should be of interest to you. If you would like to know how to bring together and motivate a team of people who want to achieve something together, this course provides you with the skillset and knowledge on how to do this.
In the Human Resource Management option at Year 3, students will study specialist HR subjects in more detail including: Contemporary Issues in HRM, People Management Functions, Employment Law and Organisational Behaviour. In Year 4 in addition to other modules, students will study Applied HRM, Industrial Relations and Strategic HRM.
