Human Resources Major

Bachelor of Management,

Major in Human Resource Management

The human resources (HR) function has evolved from a mainly administrative role to a far more strategic one that contributes to an organization's business planning and long-term strategy. A management career in human resources demands integrity, confidentiality, and excellent interpersonal skills, but also requires knowledge of accounting, finance, and strategic management.

Your Bachelor of Management degree will give you the broad-based business knowledge you need to become not only a successful HR professional, but a respected management professional who knows how to contribute to departmental and organizational goals.

The following are the requirements for completing years three and four of your Bachelor of Management, Major in Human Resource Management, assuming you have taken years one and two with AU.
