Our Human Resource Management BA will expose you to the realities of the managerial experience in both the public and private sectors, and the relevance of theory for the solution of management problems. It enables you to combine your studies of management with a specialist focus on organisational studies. This allows you to acquire a wide range of critical and analytical skills, along with a range of communication and team-working skills, which will be directly transferable to the workplace whatever career you choose to follow.

In all aspects of contemporary society, management fulfils an increasingly vital role. Successful management requires key skills, especially the managing of people in increasingly complex organisational settings. It also requires an understanding of the different cultural, socioeconomic and political factors that shape contemporary organisations and the people that work in them. By specialising in organisation studies, you will gain a comprehensive grounding in the functions of management and its role in successfully managing people and organisations. This is underpinned by critical analysis of the organisational context in which managers and employees work.

At Leicester we approach management and organisation so far as it affects not only upon the lives of managers, but also the lives of more or less everybody. We are known for the ‘Leicester Model’ of management studies – an approach that challenges the status quo and seeks to give voice to those individuals, groups and societies who are traditionally overlooked in global management and organisational processes. With our distinctive approach to the study of management, you can be certain that we will provide you with a wealth of exciting learning experiences.

Our courses will provide you with an in-depth understanding of contemporary management techniques, and will allow you to develop the skills to become an effective and socially responsible manager in local and global arenas, whether in public, private or third sector organisations and enterprises.
