Bachelor of Science - Business and Human Resource Management (Including Year Abroad) (N262)

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, students 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, students will also cover topical human resources management issues. During their final year of study, students will be able to undertake an independent research project into a contemporary human resource management topic of their choice, allowing them to put their knowledge into practice and further develop employment skills.

The four-year version of this course enables students to study abroad during their third year. In all other areas, this version of the course remains identical to the standard three-year variant. Students can study abroad with one of the exchange partners in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, the Middle East, Hong Kong and Japan. In doing so, students experience other cultures and languages, meet new people, and gain intercultural skills that are sought-after by employers.
