Studying with us will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and/or studying in another country. Human Resource Management (HRM) is about the relationship between employers and employees and the ways in which people are managed in the workplace. This 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. You'll have the opportunity to join our HRM Society and share knowledge and practice, awareness of careers and build relationships with alumni and employers. In every year, teaching focuses heavily on language work, but you'll also discover the culture of Spain and Spanish-speaking countries. Two streams are offered in first-year: one for students with Higher Spanish or equivalent qualification in their chosen language and another for those without. Students in both classes study contemporary Spanish language and aspects of the country’s culture and society.
