This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of current theory and practice relating to Human Resource Management (HRM). You’ll gain the skills to become an effective and responsible HR professional, understanding the purpose and key objectives of the HRM function in contemporary organisations. From recruitment, training and talent development to employee wellbeing and performance, you’ll learn how to design and implement sustainable HR strategies that make a real impact across different types of organisations. You'll also learn about employment regulation and the way it informs practice to ensure staff are treated ethically when they are at work, as well as how to promote equal opportunities and manage workplace diversity and inclusion. You'll also develop competencies in analysing key contemporary labour market trends and their significance for workforce planning in both domestic and international organisational contexts. You'll benefit from teaching that's not only grounded in world-class research by Brunel academics, but also designed to be highly interactive and employer-focused. So you'll graduate with the skills, confidence, and experience that top employers are actively looking for. You can also take a paid placement year between your second and third year. It’s a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with top global companies while you study - many of our students secure graduate roles as a result.
