The education you will gain in this course builds the necessary knowledge base for working in employment relations, but the emphasis is knowledge in action, as inspired by the Australia Human Resource Institute’s capabilities for HR professionals and Western Sydney Graduate Attributes designed to bring knowledge to life.

Students acquire the skills, knowledge and understanding of the challenges of managing people strategically in complex and turbulent environments. The course equips graduates with the ability to analyse and address a changing business environment, appropriate for careers in Australia and internationally. Effective employment relationships have always been important, but intensifying competition and rising community and employee expectations mean human resource management and industrial relations are crucial for organisational and personal success.
