Master of Human Resource Management

The course has been co-created with industry partners such as Siemens and Medibank, who supply case studies and real workplace dilemmas. Students get access to the sorts of decisions and questions that executive leadership teams actually face, giving them a much greater sense of what practically happens in the workplace.

According to Course Director Professor Anne Bardoel, the course is designed to take the best of both worlds — it is industry relevant and academically sound. It has been co-created with industry, which is something that makes it quite unique in the field of HR programs in Australia, with a thread of innovation and creativity running through all degrees at the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship (AGSE).

Graduates can go into HR specialist roles such as compensation and talent management, diversity and inclusion management, and people consulting roles. They are also prepared to play a strategic role in HR by communicating with other professionals across business functions including marketing, finance, and IT.

Yes, the course aims to provide students with an opportunity to work on HR projects that are industry relevant through working with industry partners such as Siemens and Medibank. Students engage with real case studies and workplace dilemmas supplied by these partners as part of the co-creation process.

According to Nicolette Barnard, Head of Human Resources – Australia & New Zealand at SIEMENS, in an uncertain environment people managers and human resources play such a vital role — to help transform organisations and steer them across these wild waters of uncertainty. It is so important that HR people think differently, as people will need people to get through difficult transformations.
