- HR manager – leading HR operations and people strategy across an organisation
- Global talent acquisition specialist – designing recruitment and employer brand strategy for international organisations
- Diversity and inclusion consultant – advising organisations on EDI strategy, compliance, and cultural change
- International HR business partner – aligning people strategy with business objectives across markets

Why choose this programme
Business and HR combined
You graduate with a comprehensive business management foundation – strategy, leadership, finance, and supply chain – alongside dedicated HR modules covering principles of HRM, managing across borders, and equality, diversity, and inclusion. This dual expertise positions you for roles where business strategy and people management intersect.
