Online only
Labour mobility in the GCC is not a textbook of ILO conventions. It is a stack of bilingual contracts, medicals, and degree envelopes that ministries stamp without evaluating the transcript. This LLM starts with that stack. You will read localisation (nitaqat-style and analogues), professional recognition committees, and family-enterprise sponsor practices as interlocking systems. Arab Leadership University teaches English and Arabic because the English offer letter and the Arabic labour filing often disagree. You will draft a recognition memo that does not pretend attestation equals evaluation, and you will map a mobility failure when a professional title is used without a licence. Vision 2030 and peer GCC visions are treated as labour-market programmes, not as logos. The award is academic. It is not a call to the bar, not a UAE or KSA practising certificate, and not United Nations migration employment. It is for people who must keep mobility files honest when recruitment marketing has already promised a title. You will assemble a mobility stack from offer letter to residence artefact, flag unlicensed professional titles in bilingual contracts, and write a recognition memo a GCC HR director can table without calling you an immigration adviser. Sending-country families and family-enterprise sponsors are cases, not logos. Tuition-free online LLM study remains academic. Photographs show redacted documents, not ministry crests or LAS marks.
Thirty credits across labour instruments, recognition practice, bilingual drafting, and a mobility-file capstone. Academic LLM only. Tuition-free online. Documentary photos without ministry or LAS logos.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: English and Arabic (bilingual assessment; academic Arabic required for AR-medium tracks). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. Arab Leadership University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
