Program structure

If you're interested in the role of trade unions, how management liaise with their workforce, or helping people to succeed in their own careers, then a degree in industrial relations is for you.

You will gain an appreciation of labour market issues and laws; negotiations including collective and individual bargaining; wage and payment systems; and the complex inter-relationships between employers, employees and unions.

In the current environment of workplace reform, experts in industrial relations are more sought after than ever before.

Year 1 you will complete the business core courses.

Year 2 and 3 you'll complete courses for the Industrial Relations major and supplement your studies with a choice of:

  • an overseas internship or exchange
  • an industry placement (work-integrated learning)
  • an additional area of specialised study, or minor
  • specialisations offered from other areas of the University
