Why we’re qualified

Companies can have great products, services or ideas but good people management can be the key differentiator in success or failure. In this competitive world companies need people with specialised skills and knowledge of human resource practices to manage people effectively. This is why career analysts expect the number of jobs in human resources to increase.

The AGSE’s Master of Human Resource Management has been designed with an emphasis on becoming a business partner and leader in the rapidly changing human resources environment. We recognise that working with other management professionals is a key to success to being an effective human resource professional and we have worked with industry partners to co-create the course content to make sure it is relevant and what industry needs.PROFESSOR ANNE BARDOEL

COURSE DIRECTOR

In 2001, Swinburne founded the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship (AGSE). This makes us Australia’s first dedicated entrepreneurship school. We see change as an opportunity. And that’s the mindset we teach.

Undertaking your degree at the AGSE will provide you with exclusive access to Swinburne’s vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem. Led by the Faculty of Business and Law, the AGSE is connected to the wider university through our Innovation Precinct, our Digital Innovation Labs, business incubator program and entrepreneur-in-residence program.

Building on Swinburne’s longstanding practice of real-world leadership, the curriculum in each AGSE degree is co-created with senior industry leaders. On top of that, you’ll get the best of both worlds: industry practitioners, known as pracademics, teaching alongside Swinburne academics. The practical application of your learning experience is further emphasised with industry speakers, on-site events, real-life case studies, and guest lecturers from industry and academia.

You’ll be building new networks from your first day.

Employees are more mobile across their careers and with increased technology disruption across all industries and business functions, the role for human resources is growing increasingly critical within the workplace. There is a growing need to effectively manage people and organisations through transitions and changes to business. As a result, the ‘Demand for human resource professionals is expected to grow by almost 8,000 people over the next five years.’ (The future of work: Occupational and education trends in human resources in Australia, prepared by Deloitte Access Economics, March 2018).

Building a team with the right people is critical to the success of any business. The Master of Human Resource Management will equip you to develop core capabilities required to lead people effectively in a rapidly changing business environment.

When you complete the course, you will confidently navigate and lead change in any environment you find yourself in. That’s the edge you owe yourself.
