Bachelor of Business
With today’s fast pace of change, you need a business degree that’s going to keep up. It’s why we’ve revamped our Bachelor of Business to be more tailored to evolving industry, technology and careers.

With a program structure unique to Western, you build your degree to best suit your area of specialisation. Unlike traditional degrees, you can now choose majors outside the business stream to give you a more diverse set of skills and knowledge. What’s more, with Western, you begin your major in the first year of study. No more waiting to dive into the areas that interests you most.

Depending on the majors and electives you choose, the Bachelor of Business can also see you graduate with industry specific accreditation from Australia’s leading institutions.

Major: Human Resource Management
The Human Resource Management Major is designed for people who seek careers in human resource management and industrial relations.

Graduates’ careers focus on enhancing the value of human and social capital through supporting employee engagement for many different kinds of organisations, market-oriented and community-oriented organisations and many kinds of people. The teaching philosophy is based on knowledge in action, a fusion of the Australia Human Resource Institute’s capabilities for HR professionals and the Western Sydney University Graduate Attributes designed to secure success.

An aim of the program is to instil those values and attitudes that can support leaders in judgements about balancing the pursuit of organisational objectives with creating opportunities for developing people’s capacities and careers. The perspectives are local and international, with an emphasis on the value of cultural and demographic diversity. Graduates have knowledge of how leadership and management of people can support organisational objectives and create organisational opportunities.

This capacity comes from grounding in human resource management and industrial relations practice using contemporary law and research in applied projects. Students combine this with an education in the pressures organisations experience in inter-disciplinary subjects focused on money, markets and management. That is, graduates develop commercial acumen and appreciate the competing interests around work, aware of trends locally and internationally.

Throughout the program, students are challenged to develop and demonstrate communication, cultural, and analytic skills required to be innovative and responsible team-members and leaders.
