The Human Resource Management major provides specialised knowledge across eight major units, developing skills relevant to recruitment, employee relations, organisational development, workforce management and strategic human resources. Core Curriculum units further support broader academic and professional development. This combination enables students to understand employee behaviour, motivation, workplace relationships and organisational performance from both psychological and business perspectives. Graduates can pursue opportunities in human resource management, recruitment, organisational development, employee wellbeing, training and development, business administration and related professional fields, while the psychology component also provides a foundation for optional postgraduate study in psychology.
