The vast majority of organisations would agree that one of their greatest assets is the people who work for them. The HR concentration route prepares students to evaluate and critically reflect on the strategic importance of HR Management to the organisation. This concentration covers all the major aspects of finding, training, evaluating and retaining key staff. Considering the high cost of loosing skilled people, and the negative impact on companies with high labour turnover, HR Management has become essential for companies striving to maintain their knowledge base. The focus subjects build on the core subjects to provide comprehensive knowledge of Human Resource Management.
Apart from the core subjects, students complete courses in the following focus areas
- Organisation Development and Change
- Human Resource Strategy
- Industrial Relations and Legal Aspects in HR
- Cross-cultural Management
Consultancy Project
After completing the course, students undertake the role of an internal or external consultant and investigate a business problem with the aim of arriving at a fesiable solution to the problem originally identified.
