Human Resource Management

Increasingly, business firms and the public sector recognise that a major source of sustainable success is found in capable and productive human resources. The human resource management (HRM) major focuses on the people side of organisations. It is relevant to students wishing to pursue a professional career in HRM as well as to those students who see people management as a necessary part of their future skills portfolio.

The major provides students with an understanding of human resource management theories, concepts and applications. This includes detailed study of theory and practices in key functional areas of HRM, including job analysis, recruitment and selection, training and development, change management and occupational health and safety management.

Professional Recognition

The HRM major has accreditation from the Australian Human Resources Institute. Students are eligible for membership of the Institute.
