The BA (Hons) Business Management with Diploma in Human Resource Management is a UK bachelor’s degree delivered 100% online by LEAP Education and awarded by a UK university partner with degree-awarding powers. The programme totals 480 credits at FHEQ Level 6 and is assessed entirely by assignment, with no written examinations.
Standard completion is 36 months. You can start at any time, study around full-time work and submit coursework online. Fees from £5,900 with interest-free instalment plans. Graduates progress to postgraduate study or senior management roles.
Senior leadership teams no longer hire HR professionals who simply process payroll or manage compliance checklists; they demand strategic partners who can align workforce strategy with commercial objectives to drive profitability.
Graduates move from reactive administrative roles to leading organizational design, talent acquisition, and performance management strategies that directly influence company growth. You gain the authority to sit at the table during budget planning, justifying headcount and training investments through data-driven ROI analysis rather than intuition. This credential enables you to navigate complex labor laws across multiple jurisdictions and implement retention frameworks that protect institutional knowledge in high-turnover markets.
