Master of Commerce (Human Resources)

Curtin University

This is an ideal postgraduate degree for professionals who want to specialise or upskill in a particular area of commerce. Business professionals may also be eligible to gain credit for recognised learning (CRL) and gain their master degree in just one year. This course incorporates Curtin Business School's future-focused ‘GRIT’ concepts – global, responsible, innovative, and technology-driven – which reflects the skills the World Economic Forum has identified as non-negotiable for the 21st century. You will study commerce subjects that will broadly enhance your employability – including business project management, business analytics and data visualisation, and transformative technologies that impact society and its business practices. These core units will extend your knowledge in areas of business and STEM, and enable you to network with a wider range of peers. Through practical learning experiences, you will sharpen your ability to solve complex business challenges and acquire valuable research skills to apply to your chosen industry. This major enables working professionals without experience in human resources management to gain expertise and professional competencies in areas of the HR management continuum. It is particularly suited to human resource managers and employment-relations professionals and consultants who are interested in optimising workplace performance and engagement through macro- and micro-based negotiation, comparative global human resource management and employment relations, and HR analytics and research.
