Online & New Capital Campus
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. Imperial University in Cairo 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. LLM Labour Mobility and Professional Recognition (GCC) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 30. Students move from GCC Labour Instruments as Operating Files through GCC Labour Instruments as Operating Files; Sponsorship, Localisation, and Quota Politics; Bilingual Contracts that Disagree; Attestation Stamps versus Academic Evaluation; Professional Titles without a Practising Certificate; Family Enterprise as Sponsor, and finish on Comparative Sending-Country Notes. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Map a GCC mobility file from offer to residence artefact Write a memo that attestation is not evaluation Identify unlicensed title use in bilingual contracts Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
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.

| IUC1401 | GCC Labour Instruments as Operating Files GCC Labour Instruments as Operating Files (IUC1401) is a 3-credit course on LLM Labour Mobility and Professional Recognition (GCC), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result, using GCC Labour Instruments as Operating Files as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

| IUC1405 | Attestation Stamps versus Academic Evaluation Attestation Stamps versus Academic Evaluation (IUC1405) is a 3-credit course on LLM Labour Mobility and Professional Recognition (GCC), with 30 notional learning hours.

The published duration is 4 Semesters (2 Years). 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.
You may study this award fully online from your country, or — where published — on campus at IUC. Online study does not require a student visa. Campus study may.
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. Imperial University in Cairo publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
