Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Human Resource Management with foundation year

People are at the heart of any business or organisation. The Foundation Year course offers an alternative entry to higher education and prepares students for a career in human resource management.

The Human Resource Management with Foundation Year course covers all the areas of people management in organisations, including employee recruitment & selection, employee learning & development, reward and performance management.

Students will develop a breadth of knowledge in a range of subjects that impact directly on all areas of business performance and competitiveness. Students will also gain an understanding of leadership and how the behaviours of individuals and teams contribute to the success of organisations.

For a business to thrive it's vital to have a motivated workforce that feels valued, so the effective management of human resources (HR) is key. This foundation year prepares students for studying a business-related degree (which includes the Human Resource management degree), while giving them a strong cross-disciplinary grounding in business and law.

After the foundation year, students will continue with their human resource management study, where they’ll have opportunities to undertake professional work placements, thereby gaining hands on experience and developing new skills that will help their CV stand out from the crowd.

Students will also have opportunities to examine real-life organisational problems by making the most out of the strong links between Christ Church Business School and a wide range of local, regional and national organisations.
