Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course equips students with essential knowledge and practical skills in human resource management (HRM) within a contemporary global context. Students are encouraged to leverage AI resources to support their research, whilst prioritising their own efforts, critical thinking, and the cultivation of soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and leadership. Through case study analyses, group discussions, and practical tasks, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of both traditional and innovative HRM approaches. This preparation equips them for successful and adaptable careers in the dynamic business environment, regardless of their prior experience.

Assessment Elements
- Regular In-Class Activities (1)Practical assignments enable students to apply knowledge through individual and group work formats (exercises, discussions, presentations). These activities develop skills essential for achieving learning objectives in each thematic module. Instructional tasks are implemented on a regular basis. Collectively, this assessment component is NOT eligible for retake. It cannot be repeated as it incorporates in-class participation, seminar discussions, case/problem-solving activities conducted at specific times, and other interactive elements. Missing an individual seminar—even for valid reasons—results in a score of 0 for that component. At the instructor’s discretion, a student may be permitted to complete a substitute assignment to compensate for missed seminar(s). In such cases, the following factors are considered: Formal notification from the academic office regarding sufficient valid documentation (e.g., medical certificate); The average score of the student’s team; The student’s individual performance at the time of evaluation. Depending on circumstances, students may be assigned an individual make-up task for the missed seminar(s), with a completion deadline agreed upon with the instructor. Important: No make-up opportunities will be granted after the module/course concludes—regardless of extenuating circumstances or documentation.
- Regular In-Class Activities (2)
- Team ProjectThis is a team project aimed at developing students’ knowledge and competencies in the field of HRM practices. Students will be given at least two weeks to complete the project. The content and terminology used should incorporate course materials, academic literature, as well as additional academic and/or media resources independently sourced by the team. Through interaction with a real company, student teams study and analyze work practices related to HRM functions. The research findings and their discussion take place during a dedicated seminar. The assessment for this assignment will consist of a grade for the written final report (summary plus appendices), a PowerPoint presentation, and the subsequent discussion.
- Written examAt the end (or near the conclusion) of the course, an exam in test format is administered, covering all included topics. A minimum of 45 minutes is allocated for the exam procedure, including instructions on the examination process. The question formats include multiple-choice, open-ended questions, and short case studies. The weight of each question is indicated directly next to the task on the exam. Students take this exam individually. Detailed instructions regarding the procedure will be provided in advance through the Smart-LMS system prior to the exam.
