Master of Workforce Planning

Fostering Global Business Leaders 

The Master of Workforce Planning at UNSW Canberra is designed to enable the development of skills that will improve organisational productivity and outcome through the process of systematically predicting the future demand and supply of the employees. The program will provide students with knowledge to enable the forecasting and deployment of capability in order to support the strategic development of the organisation.

The program integrates strategic theory with modelling applications.  Students will firstly learn about different aspects of developing a workforce plan, before then applying this knowledge to create new ideas and plans. The program includes optional research project courses that enable students to produce a substantial piece of research-based scholarship during their degree. 

This fully online degree balances advanced theory with practical knowledge, offering you the opportunity to learn how to develop effective future workforce plans.
