About this course
The programme is specifically designed for professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds and organisations, and is particularly suitable for lawyers, HR professionals, company secretaries, owner-managers and those with HR responsibilities.
This LLM gives the student not only an in-depth study of Employment Law but also critical aspects of human resource management. This means that the HR professional gains a comprehensive knowledge of the law which influences HR policies and practices within a business, indeed their own workplace.
The lawyer, on the other hand acquires an understanding of the context within which their advice is being sought, the potential impact such advice may have on a business and where business decisions may have to be made. As such it gives the lawyer a greater understanding of the background in which certain decisions may be made and allows a more holistic approach to be taken.

Core Module
Employment Law in Context in the UK and EU
Lawyers approach the subject of Employment Law as a legal discipline but their expertise is enhanced if they have an appreciation of the wider context within which Employment Law fits. The modern manager also needs to acquire a knowledge of Employment Law if he or she is to be equipped for modern human resource management. The aim of this module is to provide lawyers and non-lawyers with an underpinning to the optional modules by providing a concise contextual exposition of modern Employment Law.
Optional Modules
- Civil Liberties in the Workplace
- Collective Labour Law
- Aspects of Discrimination in Business
- Alternative Dispute Resolution
- Negotiated Study
- Individual Employment Law
- Health and Safety Law
- People Management within Organisations
- Equal Opportunities in the Workplace
