What an HR degree typically covers

An HR programme typically covers how organisations attract, develop, and keep the right people. You will look at recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, reward systems, employment law, and how to build good working relationships between employees and employers. The degree also builds practical skills in communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and people management that are useful in any field.

How hard it is to get a place

You should always confirm your eligibility with the admissions office before applying.
