Gain a more targeted knowledge base in psychology and take a scientific approach to the day-to-day functions of an HR professional. Your deep understanding of human behavior will be crucial when it comes to analyzing employee performance, developing strong organizational culture, and selecting the right person for the job. This course has been recognized by key accreditation bodies in HR and psychology as a degree that closely reflects the needs of the industry.

If you are interested in HR, why not graduate with complementary skills in psychology that make you stand out from the pack?

At the core of human resources is understanding the person in front of you. What motivates them? What holds them back? What role suits their strengths? Our Bachelor of Human Resource Management (Psychology) prepares you for these questions and more.

Graduate with a keen sense for the underlying factors behind common workplace challenges. Through practical learning, underpinned by the latest research, you will be able to provide evidence-based solutions to these very challenges.

By applying a psychology lens to human resource management, you will have a definitive advantage in core competencies relating to:

  • Employee relations
  • Change and performance management
  • Organisational culture
  • Teamwork
  • Research methods.

The diverse range of units on offer gives you a broader perspective of the challenges faced in HR, while at the same time preparing you for the realities of modern business. Learn the fundamentals of human resources by studying units such as organisational behaviour, change management and workplace counselling and negotiation. Then complement this knowledge with psychology units including brain, biology and behaviour, psychological science and the human mind. This dual expertise doesn't just make you better at your job; it makes you much more attractive to employers.
