Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business Management (Human Resource Management)

If students want to learn how businesses work and how to manage people, then this is the Middlesex degree for them. Students will learn about the theory and practice of how businesses operate and what their environments are like. They’ll also study a variety of management styles, alongside the law and practices related to managing people. They’ll be supported by a team of tutors who have industry experience. They will be exposed to key HR practices such as hiring practices, HR law, the ethics of employment and other abilities they'll need during their career.

Students will undertake a work placement, so they can apply their skills to a live work setting. Using industry connections, staff will help students find a role in the HR team of a top company, in an industry relevant to their interests. Students can do this over the course of a year or over two summers. Past students have done placements with the NHS, The Walt Disney Company, and Hays Recruitment. Developing the essential skills and knowledge to succeed in business management, students will focus on modules such as strategic management, leadership, and business development.
