Course Overview

The BSc in Workplace Management at LSIBM is a three-year UK honours degree written for people who want to build careers designing, running and evolving workplaces and employee experience across UK employers. Sitting in the Human Resources & Leadership faculty, it combines the core business curriculum with a workplace-management specialism — workplace strategy, employee experience, HRIS design, DEI and wellbeing.

You will complete a workplace placement year in year two (a UK plc people-team, a corporate real-estate consultancy or an HRIS partner), sit a CIPD Associate-aligned employee-experience capstone in year three, and defend a full workplace-strategy dissertation in front of a working workplace director. The BSc in Workplace Management is available on-campus in central London, fully online with cohort calls scheduled across UK and APAC time zones, and by distance learning from 2026.

What You Will Learn

Workplace strategy — hybrid, activity-based working, portfolio economics.
Employee experience design — journeys, moments of truth, personas.
HRIS design and selection — Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM.

Facilities and real-estate management — cost per desk, sub-let, ESG.
UK employment law, ACAS Code and GDPR for people-operations.
Change leadership across a large workforce.

Career Pathways
