Entry requirements
Entrants will be expected to have a couple of A-levels, as well as Maths and English GCSEs at grade C or above. Students are not expected to have a significant amount of work experience – this is the first step in studying towards a degree-level qualification.

There are a number of optional modules, such as operations management and international politics. Students specialising in personnel will also take the following modules: human resource management, managing human resource issues, human resource development, employee relations, and employment law.
Career opportunities
