Commerce - Human Resource Management

Is managing the world’s most important resource the sort of responsibility you can handle?

Swinburne’s postgrad programs in Human Resource Management allow graduates to make a difference by encouraging difference. A business that follows the crowd and conforms with the status quo will eventually lose talented staff. Our courses emphasise the sort of human resource practices that can set an employer apart.

The course matches key theoretical areas with practical applications. "Recruitment and selection" focuses on interviewing skills. "Human resource development" focuses on staff training. "Performance and reward management" focuses on staff counselling. And "employee relations" focuses on negotiation skills.

Adding to the practical advantage, the courses are delivered in a classroom (not a lecture theatre), where you will be enocouraged to actively examine theories and practices and to share your ideas and questions with teachers and fellow students.
