Human resources

Our HR degrees provide our graduates with key subject and employability skills along with an appreciation of the fast paced changing sector of Human Resource Management.

Broadly these are subjects that have a people/human dimension to them in the context of work and employment, including HRM, Training and Development, Organisational Behaviour, Psychology and Sociology of Work, Employee Relations Leadership and Management and International HRM.

Research interests encompass comparative HRM, crossing the academic/practitioner divide in HRM, public sector leadership and management, diversity, industrial relations and trade union studies.
