Master of Business (Human Resource Management Stream)

What is the Master of Business (Human Resource Management Stream)?

The Master of Business (Human Resource Management Stream) provides the student with the opportunity to greatly enhance their specialist subject knowledge, experience innovative learning methods and explore opportunities arising from innovation, change and business development.
