Elective Courses

The Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources (CIRHR) offers key elective courses in both industrial relations and human resources. With the permission of the Graduate Coordinator, students may take courses in other departments and Faculties. Since graduate units give preference to their own students, CIRHR students can enrol in these elective courses only when space is available. Students must meet the standards and requirements of the other departments and Faculties in those courses taken outside CIRHR.

Not all courses are offered every year. The availability of elective courses may be subject to change due to such factors as faculty research leaves and departmental resources. Some courses may be available only in the day or in the evening. Please consult the CIRHR timetable which lists available courses in each session.
