In recent years the HR profession has been shifting away from a traditional “service” perspective towards an analytical and behavioural focus of the role.

Professionals working in HR need appropriate up to date knowledge combined with business skills, that is why this programme places HRM at the heart of organisational management in a rapidly changing, ever more complex, and increasingly global marketplace.  

Aims

The programme provides a very effective practical overview of the latest thinking and case developments in HRM in order to provide both a conceptual and practical basis for student learning. The programme is highly interactive, the enjoyment of class discussion by students being a major feature of the programme.

Objectives

On completion of the programme students should have acquired the skills to:

• Gain an understanding of Human Resource Management principles and functions.

• Appreciate the strategic and operational significance of modern HRM.

• Understand the key factors to drive motivation through performance management.

• Analyse the key role of HR in organisational communication and in implementing change programmes.

• Explore current trends and the impact of technology.

DBS aims to give you the best possible campus and blended learning experience. All classes for 2020/21 will be taught on a hybrid learning basis. This means you will be on campus for some classes and other classes will be online. Your timetable will be available once you register for the programme and will advise you of which classes are on campus and which classes will be taken online.

Our objective is for every student to have as much classroom teaching as possible.   The amount of classroom teaching for any individual student is dependent upon how many other students are in the class.   On average we expect that while a 2-metre social distance requirement is in place for Colleges and Universities, a student will spend approximately one-third of their time in the classroom and the remainder online. 

All student services such as Career and Library Services, Student Welfare and Academic Support will still be fully available to all students. All of these support services are being reformatted for the new academic year so as students can access them online as well as on campus.

We would love to welcome you in person as per usual, but unconventional times call for creative alternatives – we will now be bringing the DBS experience straight to your home. Our Open Evening offers the perfect opportunity to speak with our team of expert lecturers and gain first hand knowledge on programmes offered across a variety of disciplines.

Realise your ambition from the comfort of your own home...This is a pre-registered event and therefore please register in advance of the date here. We will be in touch shortly with further information and details as we get closer to the event.

Hope to see you there!
