The Graduate Certificate in Industrial and Employee Relations is designed to meet the needs of practitioners in industrial and employee relations and of human resources managers who wish to undertake formal study and gain a qualification in this field. In addition, the course aims to provide an avenue for managers and professional people who seek to make the transition to employment in the field of industrial and employee relations.
The course focuses on the workplace aspects of industrial and employee relations and links industrial relations and employee management practices with the broader issues of economic policy, wages and labour policy, efficiency and productivity. This necessitates detailed coverage of the institutional and legal framework of Australian industrial and employee relations.
Applicants require a pass degree or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution. Applicants without a first degree who have a minimum of six years appropriate employment experience should refer to the section on executive certificates. Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of two credit exemptions for subjects considered to be equivalent to particular subjects in the course of study. Refer to the course director for further details.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the Department of Management as to the 2001 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
Students who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate in Industrial and Employee Relations may apply for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Industrial and Employee Relations.
