Degree awarded: Master of Science

Entry requirements: Applicants should have a degree in a related subject area (e.g. HR/management, development studies, education, sociology, public or business administration, education, psychology, industrial or employee relations, economics, social policy), and should have at least one year’s work experience in a relevant field, such as HR, education, training, management of development projects, or NGO management.

Applicants who do not fulfil the academic requirement but have more than one year’s work experience and meet English language requirements may be offered the opportunity to register for a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip). Diploma students take a package of core and optional course units identical to the Masters programme. If performance in these course units meets the standard required at the Masters level (a pass mark of 50%), these students upgrade to Masters registration at the end of the second semester and proceed to the dissertation. They then become eligible for award of a Masters degree. Those who do not achieve a pass at Masters level, but at the Diploma level will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma.

Fees for 2009 entry are £5,600 for UK/EU students and £ 11,400 for international students. For general fee information, please visit: Postgraduate fees

Our students are sought after by employers across the full range of business. Destination surveys show that our students have opportunities in Human Resource Management, Advertising, Marketing, E Business, Finance, Project Management and indeed management in general. Many of our graduates choose to work for international organisations while others choose to remain more local. Both public sector and private sector organisations appear strongly. It is evident that employers of all sorts appreciate the value of our Business and Human Resource Management programme and especially the students that successfully complete it.

Although most of our students enter the world of work almost immediately after graduating, the academic basis of our Business and Advertising programme provides students with opportunities to continue into Post Graduate programmes at the University of Lincoln or elsewhere.

This BA(Hons) Business and Human Resource Management (HRM) is one of a suite of programmes which combine the core elements of the Business Studies programme with elements from other, more specialist programmes.

Your studies will be organised around core business subject areas, e.g. marketing, operations, strategy and around core HRM subjects. As you progress through your studies you will be asked to link these in integrated and systematic ways and to demonstrate the ability to deploy Business and HRM theory and concepts in a critical and professional manner.

Lincoln Business School recognises that the world of work is changing and throws new challenges at us everyday. Along with the rest of the Business programmes, Business and HRM aims to provide the opportunity for under-graduates to gain a range of contemporary business skills and knowledge which can be employed within a variety of business contexts. The programme addresses the needs of those seeking employment in both the small and medium sized organisations as well as those wishing to work for multinational businesses.
