Being a great manager is about more than just "getting things done". It's finding the right people, understanding what drives them, and giving them the right support.
You'll learn to apply the latest thinking around all aspects of people management, and develop your own style that's both effective and empathetic.
Our teaching and learning approach encourages active learning by doing and our links with employers and activities including guest lectures, company and employment tribunal visits will give you the opportunity to discuss real case scenarios with HR professionals.
We'll dive into key subjects relating to people management, from staff development to employment law, recruitment, performance management and HR data analytics. But we'll also help you develop your own personal approach, by solving "live" workplace challenges in our Simulation Suite.
You'll be able to boost your team-building and leadership skills by attending experiential days and our links with high-profile employers mean you'll see what the best companies in the UK are doing, through guest lectures and placements.
