swinburne.edu.au/agse

GIVING YOU AN EDGEIn 2001, Swinburne founded the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship (AGSE). This makes us Australia’s first dedicated entrepreneurship school. We see disruption as an opportunity. And that’s the mindset we teach.

When you study at the AGSE, you’ll get exclusive access to Swinburne’s vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem. Led by the Faculty of Business and Law, the AGSE is connected to the wider university through our Innovation Precinct, digital innovation labs, business incubator program and entrepreneur-in-residence program.

Building on Swinburne’s longstanding practice of real-world leadership, the curriculum in each AGSE degree is co-created with industry leaders. On top of that, you’ll get the best of two worlds: industry practitioners, known as pracademics, teaching alongside Swinburne academics.

The practical application of your learning experience is further emphasised with industry speakers, on-site events, real-life case studies, and guest lecturers from industry and academia.

You’ll be building new networks from your first day.

Companies can have great products, services or ideas but it’s good people management that can ultimately make the difference between success and failure. In this competitive world companies need people with specialised skills and knowledge of human resource practices to manage people effectively. This is why career analysts expect the number of jobs in human resources to increase.

The AGSE’s Master of Human Resource Management has been designed in collaboration with our industry partners who are at the forefront of a rapidly changing business landscape. Our students actually get to meet and learn directly from our partners – seeing these leaders in action is invaluable.

With employees more mobile across their careers and increased tech disruption, the role for human resource professionals is growing increasingly critical within the workplace. There is an intensifying need to effectively manage people and organisations through transitions and changes to business. As a result, the ‘Demand for human resource professionals is expected to grow by almost 8,000 people over the next five years.’ (The future of work: Occupational and education trends in human resources in Australia, prepared by Deloitte Access Economics, March 2018).

Building a team with the right people is critical to the success of any business. The Master of Human Resource Management will equip you to confidently lead change and people in any environment you find yourself in. That’s the edge you owe yourself.
