Our foundation programmes give you the opportunity to really focus on your study skills so that you can progress through the rest of your degree with real confidence. They are also the perfect choice if you don’t meet the entry requirements for a standard degree course, or if it’s been a while since you were in education. Our BA (Hons) Business Management (Human Resource Management) with Foundation Year will introduce you to the principles and practice of successful HR functions, but without the traditional and outdated concept of the employee as a commodity for business success. The course begins by helping you develop broad knowledge in key areas of business management, including managing people and an introduction to how modern organisations function. You’ll then explore subjects covering the development of high performance teams, talent management, rewarding performance, people analytics, and other key areas that you’ll find indispensable in the workplace.

This course has been developed with input from world-leading organisations and researchers, so that you are exposed to the latest developments happening in the field of human resources, people, and culture. This means you’ll be able to show future employers that you have what it takes to fill current skills gaps in the field.
