About University of Brigant

Historic UK university (founded 1883) with Edinburgh campus and tuition-free online degrees.

Overview

This LLM is for HR leads, union officers, in-house counsel-adjacent staff, and regulators’ analysts who must read UK employment and professional-regulation law without pretending the University of Brigant will make them solicitors. Thirty credits, Edinburgh or tuition-free online, one standard. You will work through unfair dismissal, whistleblowing, and fitness-to-practise interfaces as they actually appear in Scottish and UK workplaces—NHS employers, universities, and SMEs—not as a generic international-law LLM with the title swapped. Assessment is identity-checked. The award is academic literacy, not a practising certificate.

Delivered on campus in Edinburgh with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.

**Award:** University of Brigant **Credits:** 30 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
