Gestão de Recursos Humanos BSc em ensino à distância

Throughout this BSc course, you'll gain a critical understanding of human resource management and training within organisations. This distance learning degree gives you the flexibility to study from home, so you don't fall behind in your professional life.

As organisations are becoming increasingly complex, the role of human resource management has never been more vital. In this degree, you'll study the relationship between employers and employees, making links between theory and practice.

The first six core modules of this degree focus on the theoretical basis behind the science of Human Resource Management. At the end of these modules, you will:

• Be able to demonstrate how an understanding of the issues involved in HRM can assist the human resource manager in managing staff effectively.
• Compare and contrast formal and informal learning and be able to discuss the merits of each.
• Discuss how effective employee development can impact upon an organisation's performance whilst assessing the theory and practice of management considering the importance of leadership and the HRM function.

You will then build on the theories and topics covered while moving towards an in-depth focus on some of the key issues within human resource management, human development and organisational behaviour. By selecting which modules you wish to study, you can tailor the course to your interests and career objectives. By the end of the BSc, you will:

• Understand the key principles of high-performing working, and critically review the links between performance and HRM practices.
• Evaluate the tensions between the interests of employers and employees in the management of performance.
• Be able to identify recent trends and issues concerning flexible learning in the workplace.

Your final BSc dissertation will bring all your learning together to produce an in-depth piece of research. Throughout the course, you will also complete formative training in research methods and academic writing skills to support your studies.
