The first year of the course provides a mixture of quantitative subjects and subjects drawn from the social sciences. On successful completion of the first year, students will specialise in either HRM or Financial Management. In this second year, they will take three subjects and prepare a minor dissertation. If you do not wish to take all three subjects in any particular semester, you may choose to study one or two on a phased basis.
