Meet the changing learning needs of our student cohorts at UG level as well as recognising the changing nature of work within business and societal contexts and the central role that HR plays within those changes.
Expose students to complex HR and business matters they would not normally gain experience in prior to commencing their careers – but through a supported learning environment.
Support students in developing the relevant competencies (behaviour, knowledge and skills) in resolving and facilitating complex HR and business matters, to enable them to hone such competencies more effectively and intuitively within their careers.
Gain experience within a research led academic but creative theatre based teaching environment - one which will enable them to cite practical experience at interviews for future jobs - experience they would not otherwise have gained.
Be supported and facilitated in how theory works in practice in the face of challenging business and societal contexts through an innovative but relevant assessment design and more in-keeping with the employment demands students will face after graduation.
For students on a year in industry track - this module will seek to offer a relevant and versatile extension of their placement year in which to further hone their HR, business and societal experience in the absence of students’ personal experiences of organisations.
Provide students with an advantage over their peers, after graduation, within an increasingly competitive and changing employment market.
By the end of this module, students should be able to:
More effectively resolve and act upon HR business matters while being cognisant of the societal influences of such matters.
Analyse, diagnose and offer solutions to complex HR business realities – quickly and in real time, whilst drawing upon relevant theoretical principles.
Demonstrate a range of necessary, supportive and ethical responses and behaviours that would be appropriate when handling employee / employer work-based conversations.
Build a repertoire of organisational / business behavioural approaches necessary to pursue a career within HR and business related fields, within a changing societal context.
