This double degree program allows students to undertake complementary study in related fields and gives them the opportunity to develop generalist business skills in commerce and expertise in human resource management.
The Master of Commerce is ideal for those who want to change their career to the commerce sector. Businesses and industries today are looking for graduates who have a broad commerce perspective and this course provides the fundamental skills which will allow non-Commerce graduates to obtain a qualification in preparation for a career in either small or large scale business contexts.
Human resource managers are now focused on the achievement of effective learning organisations in a world of rapid local and global change. The emphasis on these aspects, with more traditional areas of concern, will equip the successful graduate with advanced human resource management skills for organisations in the 21st Century. The Master of Strategic Human Resource Management presents powerful tools for analysing strategic alignment, managing employment relationships and identifying leadership and team dynamics skills essential to orchestrate organisational change. It provides critical perspectives on the roles and functions of HR executives as change agents.
The HRM major is accredited by the Australian Human Resources Institute. Students who have completed the Master of Strategic Human Resource Management are eligible for membership of the Institute.
Applicants must have a Bachelor degree from a recognised tertiary institution or equivalent.
Students will undertake 48 credit points (8 subjects) from the Master of Commerce schedule plus a further 36 credit points (6 subjects) from the Master of Strategic Human Resource Management schedule as listed below:
