Studying Human Resource Management at UNSW

Human Resource Management is offered as an undergraduate major by the UNSW Business School for students enrolled in commerce, economics, arts or social sciences degrees. The HRM major is designed for students who are interested in a career in human resources or managing employees, and complements studies in Finance, International Business or Business Law, as well as Psychology in a combined degree with science or arts.

Students with above average grades in their Human Resource Management courses are invited to join the Honours program, requiring an additional year of study. An Honours year adds extra value to an undergraduate degree and is highly regarded by employers.
