Bachelor of Commerce (Human Resource Management)

Strategic People Management in Practice

In this course, students explore the vital role human resources play in achieving business goals. You will study specific HRM functions including recruitment and selection, remuneration, training and development, and employment relations. The curriculum is designed to move beyond administrative tasks, teaching you how to use HR analytics to make data-driven decisions that improve employee wellbeing and organisational performance. You will also examine the "teaming of humans and machines," preparing you to manage workforces in an increasingly automated world. 

A Collaborative and Applied Learning Experience

Being a student in this program involves a balance of theoretical learning and high-energy collaborative work. You can expect an interactive classroom environment where you participate in role-playing exercises to practice conflict management and negotiation. The academic pace is steady, requiring you to stay updated on changing labour laws and global workplace trends. You won't just be reading textbooks; you will work on projects that mimic real-life scenarios, such as designing a performance management system or drafting a diversity and inclusion policy for a mock company. 

Professional Immersion and Industry Connections

The lifestyle of a Commerce student at the Perth campus is deeply connected to the local and global business community. Through the Industry Connect initiative, you have opportunities to engage with business leaders and participate in networking events. A highlight of the final year is the Business Internship or a capstone industry project, where you apply your HR knowledge in a real workplace setting to solve actual business challenges. This exposure ensures you build a professional network before you even graduate.

This degree uniquely prepares you for a variety of roles in the growing HR sector. Graduates are well-positioned for careers as HR generalists, recruitment consultants, industrial relations officers, or learning and development coordinators. Because the course is accredited, it provides a globally recognised pathway into professional HR bodies. Whether you aim to work for a multinational enterprise, a government agency, or a non-profit, you will graduate with the emotional intelligence and strategic mindset needed to lead people effectively.
