Human Resource Management
XXX is a vocational education institution under Ministry of xxx. XXX has been going through an organisational transformation in 2015 and it cause a huge challenge especially in the human resource department.
One of the challenge is communication and collaboration between divisions and it leads to a serious consequence. There are numerous misunderstandings, prejudice between one division to another, and miscommunication which cost us not only immaterial but also material loss. This problems has been occured repeatedly but there are minor efforts from the institution to fix them. This condition has encouraged me to pursue a master degree in human resource management with two choice of universities.
My first choice is University of Sydney which offers Master of Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations. University of Sydney known to be in the 1% top universities in the world and it sure translates to high quality learning experience. They offers a comprehensive courses that cater my needs. One of the study unit is Managing Communication in Organisations. This unit will be essential to help me understand the theoretical and practical knowledge of communication at organisational and individual level which I will apply to my institution. Another unit of study that are relevant is Organisational Change and Development, which will be very useful to help my institution undergo the transformation.
On the other hand, University of Western Australia (UWA) also offers Master of Human Resource Management and Employee Relations. Different from University of Sydney, one course that UWA has on the list is People Analytic, which would help me to analyze complex human resource data sets and translate it into a presentable data for higher and middle management to help them make an improved decision about policy in human resource department.
Furthermore, I have visited the campus of UWA and it has great learning environment for students. I have talked to some of the alumni and they gave really good testimonies about the program. The lecturers are always encouraging students to learn and the theories are applicable to their workplace. This has influenced me to make it my second choice of university.
