Course summary
It's often said that an organisation's most important assets are its people, and so understanding how to manage people is fundamental to how any successful organisation operates. This course enables you to focus on management processes with a strong emphasis on issues relating to the people dimensions of business and employment. You’ll develop a broad understanding of all areas in business such as finance, economics and marketing, before specialising in human resources. You’ll explore concepts such as researching people and organisations, human resource development, international business communication and strategic human resource management. This course is also approved by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the recognised professional body for human resources. Upon graduation you will gain Associate Membership of the CIPD.
