Course description

This specialist degree equips students with the skills and knowledge required for a career as a human resource manager. It is designed specifically to develop the capabilities specified by the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) in the AHRI Model of Excellence that govern the requirements for professional accreditation of the degree; however, the competencies and skills it provides are internationally transferable.

A special feature of the program is its experiential content, including a human resources practicum aimed at developing work-integrated-learning, and an international human resources study tour which exposes students to experiences of applied human resource management in an international context.

Course structure

Students complete eight core subjects in first year, six core subjects and two electives in second year, and four core subjects, two human resource management electives, and two general electives in third year.
