This course will help you work more effectively as a manager and prepare you for a career in training, recruitment or another functional HR role. It is also valuable if you are interested in pursuing work as a business negotiator, consultant, commercial interpreter, lecturer or researcher.
To help you find a job, you will be offered training in how to improve your CV and achieve success at job interviews.
If you want to pursue a career in academia, the research skills training and experience you acquire on the course may be used to develop a proposal for a subsequent research degree or for published papers.
