Course details
The BCom in Human Resource Management is a three-year distance learning programme with a highly student-focused approach. It gives students with diverse needs and various responsibilities the opportunity to study even while working full-time.
Students can choose how they want to take the course:
Option 1: Distance learning
This option is perfect for students who want to work independently. Modules for the distant learning option incorporate workshops, case-study analysis, and self-directed reading. Every semester, these optional workshops take place over two weekends and allow students to interact with their professors and classmates in real-world situations.
Workshops are held in areas with a sufficient level of demand.
Option 2: Rich-distance learning
This choice is best for students who value the independence of independent study while preferring to maintain frequent contact with their tutors and classmates. Students who select the rich-distance learning option will interact formally with instructors and other students (on an online platform).
Rich-distance learning is a fantastic option for students who want to experience the “traditional” manner of studying but at a much-reduced cost.
