MM33520 is a 20 credit module that is core to the undergraduate level programme. The focus will be on the key concepts of Human Resource Management that are used to manage people in contemporary organisations.

Employability

MM33520 will enhance a student’s employability in several ways. Firstly, they will gain a sound understanding of the role of the Human Resource function within organisations, the external environment in which these organisations operate, and also their own roles as potential managers within these organisations. Students will also develop the skills required by business, for example presentation skills and communication skills, and will develop teamwork, self-management and communication skills through group work. Students will also reflect upon their own competences, such as discovering their individual learning styles, and develop their reflective, adaptive, and collaborative learning. Case studies are used in each session to allow students to apply appropriate human resource management theory delivered in the lectures and studied in the essential reading, and here students will demonstrate their critical thinking, problem solving and decision making. Finally, the course provides practical assistance for those seeking employment at the end of their degree scheme, with a session devoted to recruitment and selection. This session has a particular emphasis on the current debates amongst human resource management academics and practitioners related to graduate employment, and demonstrates to students what Hard and Soft Currencies employers are seeking in their graduate recruitment programmes.
