Course Overview

Our Management and Organisation degrees offer you a wide-ranging programme exploring Management theory alongside Psychology, Sociology, History and Philosophy. You will understand how organisations are structured and function effectively and how their actions affect life in contemporary societies.

On the Management and Organisation (Human Resources Management) course you will focus particularly on understanding people - the way they work and how their behaviour can be influenced through management practices.

The degree programme is available with our Study Abroad options, where you spend the second year of your course at a partner university overseas and the degree can be extended into a four-year course where you undertake an industrial placement during your third year.

You start your degree studying the core module Management and Organisations and take two other Part One courses. We recommend choosing Management School or Social Sciences courses, but the choice is yours.

In your second year, you'll deepen your understanding with modules including Understanding the Individual in the Workplace; Social and Organisational Psychology, and Human Resource Management. The latter module is compulsory on this degree.

In your final year, you can choose from a range of modules such as Managing Human Resources; Comparative and International HRM, and Management and Organisation: key approaches. 

I'm learning so much which is completely new - it's really expanding my horizons.

Career opportunities

Management and Organisation graduates enter a wide array of jobs and careers, from mainstream human resource management in both public and private corporations to management consultancy and roles in the media and marketing. Others set up businesses on their own, both at home and abroad.

The degree also opens up opportunities for further study, with recent graduates undertaking studies towards professional recruitment practice and Masters in Human Resource and Knowledge Management.
