The BSc Human Resource Management at University for Development Studies is a business and management programme focused on how organisations recruit, support, and retain people. This page explains what programmes of this kind typically cover, how competitive entry is compared with other universities, and the careers you can pursue after graduating.

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

Entry to this programme at UDS is less competitive, meaning a place is generally more achievable than at universities where the same programme is highly sought after. The University of Cape Coast, for example, lists the same programme as competitive, while several other institutions also accept applications on a less competitive basis. You should always confirm your eligibility with the admissions office before applying.

Career options for HR graduates

Graduates of human resource management degrees typically go into roles that involve managing people and improving how organisations work. Common destinations include human resources officer, recruitment consultant, training and development coordinator, and employment relations specialist. Many graduates also move into general management or start their own consultancy, as the skills you learn apply to any sector, from banking to manufacturing to public service.
