Why study Management at Alliance MBS?

Our flexible management courses share a common first year before allowing you to focus on your chosen specialism to enhance your career prospects.

With a wide range of course units to choose from, you really can shape your own degree.

BSc Management (Human Resources) concentrates on the broad area of human resource management, plus employment policy and practice, industrial relations, organisational psychology, and organisational analysis, with choices to focus on both the UK and internationally.

It is designed to encourage you to gain a critical awareness of how people are managed in organisations.

To graduate with BSc Management (Human Resources), you need to have studied at least 60 credits of second-year courses (half of your studies) and at least 60 credits of final-year courses (half of your studies) from the human resources subject area.

Since the Management and Management (Specialism) degrees are identical in the first year, transfer between them is straightforward - so you should apply for only one of them.
