Human Resource Management- Joint Honours in University of Derby

A Joint Honours degree gives you the opportunity to study two subjects as one degree. This type of degree will broaden your skill set and enhance your career prospects.

Highly skilled human resource managers are valuable in any organisation. This course enables you to combine HRM with one of many relevant subjects, opening the doors to a wealth of career opportunities. 

• Build your understanding of the latest developments in HRM and all the key policies, procedures and practices
• Benefit from work-related learning, employer-led projects and live case studies
• Choose to take a placement year or internship to broaden your professional experience
• Draw on our links with prominent employers as well as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)
• Consider the HRM profession from social, cultural and political viewpoints to strengthen your critical thinking
• Learn from an experienced teaching team acknowledged for their research and consultancy expertise in HRM
• Develop your transferable skills – from group working to time management, report writing to presentations
• Gain a qualification which sets you apart: a Joint Honours degree shows prospective employers that you have a decisive, adaptable mind and can balance competing demands and priorities in business.

A broad foundation of knowledge

You will gain a thorough understanding of the effective management of people. By combining HRM with another subject, you will also be able to broaden your knowledge further still and direct your studies to the professional roles which most excite you.

The first stage of the course offers a grounding in key functional areas of business. You’ll therefore study disciplines such as business economics and marketing alongside HRM. In the second and third stages, you’ll focus on the main facets of HRM policies and practice, placing them within wider contexts such as internationalisation, strategic direction and sustainable business.

You can take HRM Joint Honours as a four-year degree to include a placement year. Or study on a three-year full-time basis, with opportunities for internships in the summer breaks.  

We have strong links with employers across the spectrum, from SMEs to major multinational firms, local authorities to charitable organisations. These valuable networks will help you to raise your professional profile and enhance your career prospects.

There is the chance to attend guest lectures, business conferences, recruitment fairs and major networking events. You can also make the most of our partnership with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) to gain inspiration and insight. The Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire CIPD branch stages regular events at the University where you can make new contacts in a professional forum.
