Bachelor in Human Resources Management

Human Resources Management examines how organizations recruit, develop, and retain the people who carry out their work. Coursework typically covers recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits design, performance appraisal, labor law, training and development, organizational behavior, and workforce planning. Students also study negotiation, employee relations, and the use of human resources information systems to track staffing data and support decision-making. Case-based assignments and group projects are common, giving students practice in designing hiring processes, drafting policies, and resolving workplace disputes. Graduates pursue roles such as human resources generalist, recruiter, compensation analyst, training coordinator, or labor relations specialist, and the degree also provides a foundation for further study in organizational psychology or business administration. This bachelor's program is offered in English at Near East University, located in Lefkoşa, Northern Cyprus, and runs over 4 years of full-time study. The English-medium instruction is intended to prepare graduates to work with multinational employers and international human resources standards. Students engage with both the operational side of the field, such as payroll and scheduling, and the strategic side, including talent management and succession planning. As organizations increasingly compete for skilled workers, the discipline places growing emphasis on employee engagement, diversity practices, and retention strategy. Through internships, group coursework, and applied projects during the 4-year program, students in Lefkoşa build practical experience alongside their academic study, developing the analytical and interpersonal skills needed to manage people effectively within an organization.
