Overview

The role of human resource management, otherwise known as people and culture, is changing. The Master of Human Resource Management (HRM) degree is designed to prepare professionals for this evolving landscape.

This specialised degree equips individuals with essential skills for navigating the complexities of the contemporary workplace. Examining organisational structures, systems, culture, and leadership dynamics, the curriculum provides a comprehensive understanding of leveraging competitive advantages in the global marketplace. From hybrid work models to digital transformation and sustainability, this degree positions students at the forefront of human resource management excellence.

Accredited by the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI), it is a testament to our commitment to fostering professionals ready to lead in the changing landscape of HR.

Domestic students have the option to study on campus or via distance delivery mode. Distance refers to learning activities that do not require you to attend campus, but instead allow you to join pre-scheduled virtual classes.

For a two-year program, this degree can be combined with a second master’s degree from Sydney Business School, UOW.
