Business Management (Human Resource Management) with a Foundation Year

The key to any successful business is being able to attract and develop talented staff. Our Business Management (Human Resource Management) degree will show you the most effective strategies for supporting and empowering workers so they contribute to overall company growth.

To help give you the edge with employers, we offer dual accreditation. It means you’ll get a leadership and management qualification from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) as well as your degree.

We offer some other amazing opportunities too, including an international study exchange. We have partner universities in places such as Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.

Then there’s the Staffordshire EDGE programme – an extra award designed to support you with your career journey.

You’ll learn from academic staff who bring a wealth of business experience and research expertise. Some have run their own businesses or worked as change managers or brand managers, and been involved in corporate investment and global banking.

The course is part of our suite of Business Management degrees, which share some core modules. Other options include a more broad-based BSc (Hons) Business Management award or degrees specialising in Events, Sustainability, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Tourism.

All of our business courses will equip you with a diverse skillset in leadership and management and the latest knowledge of how business operates in the real world. You will graduate with a creative approach to problem-solving, be able to interpret and use financial data, have teamworking and persuasive
communication skills, and show confidence in managing time, projects and resources.

On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: BSc (Hons) Business Management (Human Resource Management)
