BA (Hons) Psychology & Human Resource Management

University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Our primary focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour.

Studying with us, you'll look at behaviour conditions – how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for individual differences, such as personality or intelligence.

Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4), the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the course are limited.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is about the relationship between employers and employees and how 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 essential part of the management process in all organisations.
