Course Overview

The field of business and employment with an appreciation of corporate social responsibility is growing rapidly and there are significant employment opportunities in private companies, NGOs, law firms and government departments.

This unique LLM in Employment Law Practice and Human Resource Management will provide you with the opportunity to learn about employment law and practice from the socioeconomic perspective of the legal framework applicable to corporate and business entities.

On this programme there will be cross-faculty teaching by staff from both the Business and Law Schools – and you’ll be taught by specialists in their respective fields.

Diverse, enriching and relevant optional modules range from modules on sustainability and fashion, intellectual property, cooperate governance, business and human rights, international tax law and international development, and economic justice.

Teaching will be underpinned by case studies and exposure to ‘live’ cases within the Law School Clinic. There will also be visits to the Employment Tribunal and Judge-led talks and presentations.

A research and professional skills module is integrated into the course, as well as an option to take an introductory module on the principles of international law.
