Bachelor of Business and Commerce - Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations

Only through effectively, equitably and efficiently managing its workforce can an enterprise succeed. Contemporary organisations need professionals who can implement employment relations policies and programs that meet stakeholders' objectives and strategies. The UWS degree in Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations gives you those abilities.

After laying a foundation of general business study and skill development, our human resource management and industrial relations degree follows a required sequence that balances the study of human resource management and industrial relations, but allows a selection of 'alternate units' to provide choice and flexibility.

During the course, you're encouraged to independently gain relevant work experience to enhance your practical skills and future employment opportunities. A number of students who study in the evenings (Parramatta campus only) have already commenced their careers in employment relations.
