The Human Resource Management Major at Western Sydney University is designed for people who seek careers in human resource management and industrial relations.

The teaching philosophy is based on knowledge in action, a fusion of the Australia Human Resource Institute’s capabilities for HR professionals and the Western Sydney University Graduate Attributes designed to secure success.

The program aims to instil values and attitudes that can support leaders in judgements about balancing the pursuit of organisational objectives with creating opportunities for developing people’s capacities and careers. 

Graduates know how leadership and management of people can support organisational objectives and create organisational opportunities.

This capacity comes from grounding in human resource management and industrial relations practice using current law and research in applied projects. 

Students combine this with an education in the pressures organisations experience in inter-disciplinary subjects focused on money, markets and management. 

That is, graduates, develop commercial acumen, appreciate the competing interests around work, and are aware of local and international trends.
