Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Human Resource Management

The University of Notre Dame Australia’s Bachelor of LawsBachelor of Human Resource Management will give you an insight into the complex legal framework underpinning human resource management. Increasingly, organisations realise the importance of managing their people to balance their legal and ethical obligations with their business goals. As a result, human resource management now plays an important strategic role, requiring the expertise of professionals with knowledge in people management, the law, and business – issues which you will encounter in our combined double degree program. At The University of Notre Dame Australia, our Bachelor of Laws Bachelor of Human Resource Management is a five-year, full-time degree. Intensely challenging and highly practical, this double degree program will expose you to new ways of thinking, giving you the skills to critically analyse existing resources and determine outside-the-box solutions.

As the business world evolves, companies realise that their employees are their most valuable asset. Human resource management can help companies adapt and thrive in constant economic, sociological, and technological changes. Furthermore, because HR managers are increasingly responsible for areas such as training, workplace laws and obligations, succession planning and performance management, a knowledge of the law is invaluable. By studying subjects such as Commercial Law, Contract Law, and Alternative Dispute Resolution, you will also understand your legal obligations in the workplace. Similarly, your studies in Employment Relations, Human Resource Policy and Change Management will teach you how to apply your knowledge within an organisational structure.
