Career opportunities

The BA (Hons) HRM is underpinned by the CIPD professional standards 2018, developed and designed in order to create ‘job ready’ ‘future-proof’ graduates.

Students will benefit from engagement with the established practitioner relationships South Wales Business School has developed over the past decade. These relationships have provided excellent opportunities for direct student engagement with practice via practitioner-led guest lectures, field visits, career development events, observational and practical research, student short-term and long-term placements and scenario-led assessment.

All students will undertake a minimum of 10 weeks in industry as a core part of their study where they will be embedded in the HR function during the second year of study with a range of fantastic employers in the region and maximising their employability.

Through ‘The Business Clinic’: personal development opportunities are offered to students across all three years through engagement with the South Wales Business Clinic where students can become trainee business analysts engaging with a range of businesses in the region to provide evidence-based responses to contemporary business challenges. The Clinic aims to create triadic business relationships that encourages students, academics and organisations to collaborate.

These opportunities further underpin the employability prospects of our students and provides them with a safe environment to develop key skills in decision making, leading projects and taking risks.

Currently 98% of our HRM Graduates are in employment or further study within 6 months of graduation (DHLE 2016/17).
