Industrial Relations and Personnel Management is a discipline that equips students with the knowledge and skills to manage the most critical asset in any organisation — its people. Students study labour law, organisational behaviour, human resource planning, conflict resolution, collective bargaining, wage administration, and industrial sociology. The programme blends theory with practical insights into Nigeria's unique workplace dynamics and labour relations environment. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers as human resource managers, labour relations officers, industrial consultants, and public service administrators across both private and government sectors. Professional membership with the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) is highly relevant for graduates seeking formal recognition and career advancement within the Nigerian human resource management profession.
