Overview

People are a vital business asset  and getting the human side of business right leads to a competitive advantage in industry. 

This BA (Hons) Business and HRM degree prepares you for a successful career in human resources. As a human resources manager you'll formulate policies that address modern workplace issues like flexible working, remote working and equality and diversity, and lead on strategies to recruit and retain the right workforce. 

Human resource management covers the strategic approach to the employment, development and wellbeing of people in business. On this degree you'll build your HRM knowledge and develop your understanding of human resources in the context of business, as well as discovering the core business disciplines that make organisations successful. 

You’ll apply your learning through real-world scenarios and learning projects, with opportunities including paid industry placements throughout your studies. If you take on a Business Consultancy Project you'll work on a live client project with a local business in your final year.  

By taking an industry placement year before or after your third year, you’ll graduate with a year of experience in the workplace as well as your degree. Our Placements team will support you during your placement search and while you’re on placement. 

You'll graduate from this course with a head start in the job market, and be able to apply for Associate Membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) something that is often only available after postgraduate study.

Visa information

Student Visas for the United Kingdom

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don’t worry, everything is ok. We’re on it, and we’re doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in the United Kingdom a little easier and more enjoyable. Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa.
  Since you’re from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in the UK, yes, you’ll definitely need a student visa.

• Start exploring the official UK government website.
  For Bangladeshi applicants, the British High Commission in Dhaka handles student visas. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

• Check the deadlines.
  The visa process can take several weeks, and missing a step or delaying your appointment could mean missing the start of your semester. Not the kind of plot twist you want.

• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt.
  Passport?
  Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your UK institution?
  Visa application form, proof of accommodation, bank statements, English language test results, tuberculosis test results, academic transcripts… yes, the list is long. And yes, you’ll need every single piece.

• Start saving up.
  You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in the UK. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, travel, visa fees, and maybe even your weekend cups of tea.

• Boost your English skills.
  Even if you’ve already taken IELTS, TOEFL, or other English tests - it never hurts to keep improving. Strong English skills help at your visa interview and make life in the UK so much easier.

All in all, getting your UK student visa might feel like a lot but it’s one big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!
