Employment Law - Foundations (M5012)

15 credits, Level 6

Autumn teaching

Work is not only the main way that most of us make money: it's also where we will spend much of our lives. It's a platform for social interaction, social inclusion and, sometimes, social exclusion.

Against this background, employment law sits between the public and the private, and is enriched by both.

Through this module, you'll develop an understanding of:

• employment status
• the contract of employment
• equality and discrimination at work
• termination and dismissal.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 21 hours of contact time and about 129 hours of independent study. The Â鶹´«Ã½ may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
