BSc Honours Psychology with Human Resource Management

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Middlesex University Dubai

Program Overview

Middlesex University offers a BSc Honours in Psychology with Human Resource Management, an 3-year undergraduate degree that integrates the scientific study of human behaviour with core principles of people managing in organisational settings. The multidisciplinary programme seeks to equip learners with a solid grounding in core areas of psychology—like cognitive, developmental, and social psychology—and applied HRM skills like recruitment, training, leadership, and employee growth. It's a great option for students who want to study the influences on people and who would like to use that information to improve workplace culture and performance.

Curriculum Structure:

The course combines theoretical study with real-world application. Students will learn modules in:

Foundation Psychology Topics: For example, biological foundations of behaviour, personality, and psychological research methods
Human Resource Management Modules: Such as performance management, employment law, organisational behaviour, and strategic HR practices
Practical Research Projects: Students apply theory to practice through the design and conduct of psychological research
Professional Skills Development: Such as data analysis, communication, and ethical decision-making—skills highly valued in both psychology and HR

Throughout the programme, students are asked to evaluate psychological theory and its application to the management of people within modern-day organisations critically.

The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), provided that the student successfully completes the core modules required. This accreditation is important for those aiming for a career in professional psychology since it provides the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership—a key stepping stone to further studies.

Campus Location:

Middlesex University has a location in London, allowing students to take advantage of learning in one of the world's most networked and diverse cities. The Hendon campus is newly built to a high standard, allowing access to specialist laboratories, collaborative learning facilities, and expert staff in both the Psychology School and Business School.
