The BA HRM course has a strong focus on employability from the very beginning.

Mark’s talk will explain the relevance of the professional body for HRM, the CIPD. In addition, Tana Geoffroy, senior lecturer in the Faculty of Business and Law will talk to students about the work placement that they will undertake during their degree and the career opportunities that flow from it.
