Bachelor of Business (Human Resource Management)

Successful workplaces harness their people-potential to create value.

Digital disruption, changing economic conditions, increasing workforce diversity and an emphasis on work-life balance are all changing the nature of work.

The people managers of today must sustainably recruit, select, develop and manage a diverse workforce.

Human resource management is concerned with all aspects of managing people in organisations.

The human resource management professional is responsible for an organisation’s most valued assets—the people working there.
