Psychology and Human Resource Management (Hons) University of Strathclyde

Overview

Due to the popularity of the Psychology and Human Resource Management (Hons) course at the University of Strathclyde and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4) the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the course are limited.

We also offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK

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