  • Employment options or further study opportunities after completion of the programme

The LLM programme in Labour Law enables students to obtain current and relevant knowledge on South African labour law and equips them with the tools to solve complex labour law issues in practice. This programme is ideal for those who are already practising labour law and wish to stay up to date, or those who are only starting their law career and aspire to be labour practitioners. This is also a valuable degree for anyone who is an employee or employer — knowing, understanding and respecting labour law is key to a healthy employment relationship. We aim to offer a comprehensive programme covering the most important aspects of labour law.

A wide variety of relevant topics are addressed, including the parties involved in the individual employment relationship, labour brokers, dismissals, unfair labour practices, basic conditions of employment, discrimination, collective bargaining, dispute resolution, occupational health and safety and social security, all against the background of recent legislative developments. Since South Africa is a member state of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and should adhere to the global labour standards the ILO proposes in its conventions and recommendations, an international and comparative labour law module has been incorporated into the programme. This module will give the student insight into South Africa's international obligations in this area. During seminars and assignments, students will be confronted with practical labour issues and recent case law in an attempt to develop their skills in critical thinking and problem solving.

We are proud to say that the LLM qualification aims to provide an academic deepening and broadening of professional experience for outstanding law graduates from South Africa. It serves as an academic qualification for careers in the areas of labour law providing students with theoretical and practical knowledge of individual labour law, collective bargaining and dispute resolution, international and comparative labour law, social security and occupational health. With regard to its field of study, it intends to bridge the gap between academia and practice.
