BA Business Management with Human Resource Management
About this course
Business management and human resource management are disciplines that are most effective when studied together, because the management of people is not a separate organisational function but central to how every business strategy is executed or fails. Human resource management has evolved far beyond its administrative origins to encompass talent strategy, workforce planning, organisational culture, employee engagement, performance management and the regulatory frameworks that govern employment relationships. At the University of Hull, this three-year full-time degree combines the core content of a business management education with specialist HRM knowledge, producing graduates who can contribute to commercial strategy and to the management of the people who deliver it. You will study strategy, marketing, finance, operations and entrepreneurship alongside the HRM content of employment law, recruitment and selection, learning and development, reward management, diversity and inclusion, and the organisational behaviour research that helps managers understand how people function in work contexts. Hull's dual accreditations from AMBA and AACSB are held by fewer than two percent of the world's business schools, and the degree benefits from the quality assurance and employer recognition this provides. A typical entry tariff of around 104 points makes the programme accessible. Graduates pursue careers in human resources, people management, talent acquisition, learning and development, organisational development and general commercial management. The CIPD professional qualification is a common further step for those specialising in HR, and many graduates progress quickly to management roles where the combination of business understanding and people skills gives them a distinctive advantage. Hull's business school connections and Hull's own business community provide relevant professional networks for graduates entering the labour market in the region or beyond.
