Overview

Program content

Human Resource Studies: People Management has an international orientation, with an emphasis on the European context. This is reflected in the content of the cases you will study. The program has strong links with large international companies and offers relevant interactions between academic approaches and real-world problems. You will be trained to take people management decisions that are based on research.

In the first year of your Bachelor's program, you will learn the basic concepts and ideas of psychology, sociology, economics, and management studies.

During the second year, you will learn how to combine interdisciplinary insights and how to apply these to real-world people management problems. These include strategic, financial, and managerial aspects of Human Resource Management (HRM), as well as employee development, health, and wellbeing. You will also learn to consult organizations about people management policy.
In the third year, you follow courses that explore people management in an international context, while tailoring the program to your interests.
