#13 in the world

With more than 150 years of experience, the University of Sydney Law School is one of the world’s leading law schools, ranked 13th in the world in the 2020 QS World University Rankings by Subject.

Sydney Law School offers a rare and flexible program in Employment and Labour Law that allows you to pursue specific units in labour law, employment law, discrimination law and dispute resolution.

The Master of Labour Law and Relations is a sought-after qualification for people with or without a law degree that merges the expertise of Sydney Law School with the Discipline of Work and Organisational Studies (part of the University of Sydney Business School) and the Department of Political Economy.

If you are a lawyer or other professional working in the human resources field in government, business, industry or private practice, you will find this interdisciplinary master’s degree an invaluable professional training experience.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

The Master of Labour Law and Relations (MLLR) has been developed specifically to meet the needs of two groups: those with degrees in non-legal disciplines and those with law degrees who wish to specialise in employment and industrial law. The interdisciplinary nature of the degree has made it highly attractive for candidates whose professional life draws together both law and practice in the field of industrial relations.
