UAE & DIFC Employment Law Programme

Middlesex University Dubai invites legal and other professionals with an interest in employment law to attend a CLPD-accredited 10-week programme on UAE and DIFC Employment law taught by legal experts in the field. Participants can also attend individual sessions.

For lawyers, each session offers 2 CLPD points. Participants completing the full 10-week course will also receive a Middlesex University Dubai certificate of completion.

• This course aims to provide an understanding of the way in which employment relationships are regulated in the UAE, through an analysis of the basic elements of the UAE Labour Law and the DIFC Employment Law, which respectively govern employment relationships in the UAE and the DIFC free zone that operates in Dubai.
• The course assesses the practical applications of the employment contract on the employment relationship and the practical impact of statutory rights. It also provides an understanding of the manner in which the employment relationship is formed and varied and creates awareness of how the law affects workplace rules and procedures relating to employment protection.
• The course encourages a critical approach to legal regulation and focuses on the unique double-jurisdictional context of Dubai allowing participants to evaluate and undertake a comparison of two employment law structures that co-exist in Dubai.
