Why Human Resource Management
Study Human Resource Management with UTS Business School
Completely revamped, our new Master of Human Resource Management aspires to be the most up-to-date HRM course in Australia.
We redeveloped the program in 2020, in close consultation with an industry panel of practitioners, and the new program draws on the latest research by UTS academics working in this field – who’ll be your teachers.
What you’ll learn
The here-and-now topics in the revised program include people analytics, the impact of developments such as artificial intelligence and the gig economy on the future of work, the importance of diversity and inclusion and a dedicated subject on change management – identified by industry as being of particular importance in the fast-changing workplace.
This is a program built to have application in the real world. Each semester you’ll work through a combination of a foundational subject, a theme like people analytics, then a project that applies that knowledge. This sort of structure also means it’s easier to fit assessments into your life.
Delivery of the Master of Human Resource Management has been tailored so students get the benefits of face-to-face input from UTS’s leading HRM academics blended with well-developed and presented online materials. Explore the course structure and subjects in more detail
Who is it for?
The Master of Human Resource Management is sufficiently flexible to suit those working in human resources already and those seeking to make a career change. The foundational subjects mean those joining the industry will be equipped with the base knowledge they need, while the currency of the new subjects means existing HR practitioners will emerge with updated skills and knowledge.
Hi everyone. My name is Dr. Mihajla Gavin. I'm a senior lecturer in Human Resource Management and Employment Relations at UTS Business School.
Human Resource Management plays a key role in the success of organisations today. And in studying HRM at UTS Business School, you'll be learning some of the key skills to be driving a motivated, engaged and productive workforce in organisations today.
There are a range of options for studying HRM at UTS. We have the Graduate Certificate, which introduces you to knowledge and key skills in HRM, as well as the Graduate Diploma and Masters of HRM, where you'll develop your expertise in HR.
Our program is designed for you to gain skills and knowledge in recruitment, development and retention, as well as learn about emerging areas of HR practice like people analytics, diversity and inclusion, new ways of working, and how to manage workers in times of change and disruption.
In our diversity and inclusion subject, you will learn about the theories and practices of diversity management and how HR can play a role in developing inclusive organisations and societies.
We bring the real world into the classroom. Our programs are developed and delivered alongside industry to ensure your learning is relevant to the ever-changing needs of the HR profession. You'll have the opportunity to apply theory to practice through case studies where you're working with organisations to solve real challenges and complex business problems. And plus, you'll get the chance to learn from industry through internships, mentoring, and guest speakers.
Our teaching staff are also leading experts in their field and worked closely with the industry on research projects. Organisations today are rapidly changing, bringing new and complex challenges for HR practitioners and businesses today are also seeking people with really strong people management skills. So I look forward to seeing you soon at UTS Business School.
