The course combines a more traditional focus on industrial relations with workplace learning and broader human resource development issues.

This course is designed to meet the learning and professional development needs of a range of practitioners, including trade union organisers and representatives, managers, researchers and policy-makers who are involved in employee relations either from the perspective of the individual or the organisation, as well as those who require a broad academic foundation for work in these fields.

Students will generally be involved in delivering, managing or promoting learning and training in an unionised environment.
