Master of Human Resources Management
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
Murdoch's Master of Human Resources Management is a professionally accredited program for people moving into human resources leadership, change management, or strategic people management, whether advancing an existing HR career or transitioning into the field. The course covers workforce planning and management in line with organisational strategy, workplace culture, and evidence-based HR practice informed by global trends. It incorporates virtual reality (VR) simulations, described by Murdoch as a national first, to give students practice with scenarios such as interviews and conflict resolution, alongside digital HR platforms and data-driven workforce planning tools. Students develop capabilities in talent management, performance management, people analytics, and strategic workforce planning. General human resources and management roles are not on skilled occupation lists in most Australian states, so this degree is a weaker standalone pathway to permanent residency than a field such as accounting or engineering; it is better suited to students planning an HR career on its own terms.
