English and Human Resource Management (Hons) University of Strathclyde

Overview

We'll show you how exciting and wide-ranging our subject can be. Employers like the skills developed in an English degree: written and verbal communication, analysis and discussion of ideas and broad, creative thinking.

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.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are broad-based to start with. In Year 1 you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).

Dissertation

In the Honours year of the English and Human Resource Management (Hons) programme at the University of Strathclyde, you'll write and research a 6,000-word dissertation with guidance from a personal supervisor. This is an opportunity to investigate a topic of your own choice. Previous dissertations have focussed on music and film as well as literary topics.
