Course Overview

The BSc in Talent Management at the London School of International Business and Management (LSIBM) is a three-year UK honours degree for undergraduates targeting talent-partner, TA-lead and strategic workforce-planning graduate roles across UK employers of all sizes. Sitting inside the Human Resources & Leadership faculty, the degree combines the CIPD Profession Map at Associate and Chartered Member levels with senior ATD talent-development competencies, REC recruitment-leadership practice and academic HR theory, and closes with a dissertation and applied capstone.

You will undertake a live talent-plan brief in year two (a UK mid-market employer or a scale-up), take an optional analytics or search strand, and defend your final-year dissertation and applied capstone in front of a working CIPD-chartered talent leader. The BSc in Talent Management is available on-campus in central London, fully online with UK / APAC cohort calls, and by distance learning from 2026.

Career Pathways
