Introduction

The BBA (Honours) in Management of Human Resources (abbreviated as MHR) aims to prepare future leaders with a strong business acumen to be change agents to drive value for a better tomorrow both for themselves and for all. We offer a deep commitment to the “whole-person” development by immersing our students in meaningful and life-transformative learning experiences throughout their four-year undergraduate studies, with an aim at invigorating their creativity and strength to enable them to positively influence and change the lives of many people, and at supporting them in realizing their dreams.

Our MHR major exposes our students to a variety of management perspectives by weaving a coherent curriculum encompassing theories and practices in strategic management, human resource management (abbreviated as HRM), talent development, leadership and change, organizational culture and cross-cultural HRM, labour law and relations, and employee engagement and performance management. At the core of the MHR major is coursework with an emphasis on strategic thinking, leadership and value creation, and sustainability and agility. Drawing on key HRM and leadership theories, students will learn to act as strategic partners, lead for creativity and innovation, motivate and influence others for success, facilitate teamwork and partnership, and initiate and drive changes to enable their organisations to thrive in today's dynamic, global, and competitive environment.

Every year, a substantial majority of our graduates have chosen to further their education in reputable post-graduate programmes in different parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, and France. Our broad curriculum and HR specialty courses ensure our graduates great freedom and latitude in navigating their courses of further studies. Post-graduate programmes our graduates have been enrolled in cover a wide range of disciplines, including specialized HR areas such as industrial relations and global HRM, knowledge management, applied psychology, counselling, legal studies, financial analytics, and marketing management.

Equipped with a business degree, the HR body of knowledge and four years of lived experiences in an English-medium university in China, our MHR graduates have been highly sought after in a variety of industries and organizations. Our alumni have been well qualified for a full range of great careers that require leadership, positive attitudes, and a deep knowledge of employee empowerment and performance as well as employment laws and organizational development. Apart from taking up HR specialist positions in consulting firms, local organizations and multinational corporations in China and overseas, many of them have excelled in a wide spectrum of jobs in different professions, particularly after they have pursued further studies in an array of areas.
