MANAGING PEOPLE - focuses on giving students an understanding of the management and development of people within organisations. Closely aligned with the CIPD’s Professional Standards, the module also introduces you to mainstream thought on HRM/ D and develops your critical awareness of the complexity of leading, managing and developing people at work – and enables you to engage with alternative paradigms and discourses that recognise complexities and allow you to challenge the underlying assumptions associated with particular ways of thinking and practicing HRM/D.

GLOBAL MARKETING and DIGITAL BUSINESS - focuses on understanding the dynamics of global marketing – globalization, environment, culture, branding, positioning, segmentation and the increasing competitive threat – the most important factors that a global company needs to manage, integrate and exploit. This module adopts a strategic approach to the study of marketing and communication in a global context and prepares students to grasp a strong understanding of the essentials of global marketing.
