About this programme

Graduate outcomes: Strathclyde ranked joint 1st in Scotland HESA Graduate Outcomes results 2026 We offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK This course covers areas such as recruitment and selection, training and developing and managing conflict at work. These are an important part of the management process in all organisations. In Business Law you'll study the general principles of commercial law and business legal regulations. These include company law, competition law and human rights law. Modern business is too complex to be covered by a single subject: modern managers need to have a broad outlook. You'll follow a broad-based Year 1 curriculum which will introduce you to a wide range of business disciplines, alongside the Business School’s core modules for business knowledge and skills (the Management Development Programme ), and academic skills support. This provides you with the opportunity to try new subjects, some of which you won’t have experienced at school or college. At the beginning of Year 2, you choose two subjects to continue studying in Years 2 and 3, plus further MDP modules in Years 2 and 3. Core classes cover more in-depth HRM theories and techniques. Year 2 focuses on workplace behaviour from an organisational psychology point of view while Year 3 focuses on more sociological theories. In Year 4, you’ll study a range of specialist classes at single or joint Honours. In Year 3, you'll have the opportunity to study in Europe, North America and elsewhere for one or two semesters.
