Course Objectives: | UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 encourages member states to develop decent business models and policies to realize this goal. Decent work requires businesses to take steps to ensure economic growth, a decent working environment and inclusive industrialization by reducing insecurity for employees. To achieve these goals, labor law regulations regarding business ethics in working life are an important tool. Its core aim is to help the students, who falls outside the Faculty of Law, to become familiar with working life regulations as well as current discussion areas that constitute an important component of business ethics. |

The course is planned as 13 weeks, and no courses are included in the midterm week. The course will proceed by covering theoretical topics, and practical studies and judicial decisions will be included as required on a weekly basis. The content of the course is based on theoretical lectures and the exchange of ideas in a discussion environment. It is designed synchronously for this purpose. On the other hand, this course is intended for students enrolled other than the Faculty of Law. For this reason and to ensure wide participation, it has been planned online.
