Prior to studying the course "Selected Topics in Labour Law and the Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship", students are expected to possess knowledge, skills, and competences acquired in social and humanities disciplines, such as Introduction to University Studies, and to be familiar with the basic categories and concepts related to human life and society. Students should be able to identify and analyze educational and scholarly information, draw well-founded conclusions on professional issues, and demonstrate basic skills in drafting written documents, editing their content, systematizing relevant materials, and effectively organizing their own learning activities.

The course "Selected Topics in Labour Law and the Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship" is a component of the professional training of Bachelor’s students at the Institute of Philology, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, and is taught in the sixth semester in accordance with the curriculum. The course examines the constitutional foundations of the right to work, the procedures for concluding, modifying, and terminating employment contracts, and the legal regulation of working time, rest periods, remuneration, occupational safety, labour discipline, and employee liability. It also addresses the mechanisms for the protection of labour rights in Ukraine. In addition, the course provides fundamental knowledge of entrepreneurship, including its economic nature, forms, organizational principles, planning, and innovative approaches, as well as basic practical skills for starting and managing a business.

The teaching process combines lectures, practical classes, and independent study. Lectures provide an overview of the fundamentals of labour law and the legal regulation of labour relations and entrepreneurship, using an explanatory and analytical approach. Practical classes focus on analyzing legal acts, solving case studies, and simulating professional situations (e.g., drafting employment contracts, resolving labour disputes, developing a business plan). Teaching methods include analytical and problem-based approaches, case studies, project-based learning, and role plays. Independent study involves working with legislation, preparing documents, presentations, and mini-projects. Assessment is conducted through tests, written assignments, oral responses, and module-based and final evaluation, using interactive formats such as discussions and group work.

Assessment is conducted throughout the semester in accordance with the specified types of tasks and forms of control. The final form of assessment is a pass/fail credit. The credit is awarded based on the student’s overall performance during the semester and does not involve additional assessment procedures. Students who achieve the minimum passing score of 60 points receive a “pass,” while those who score below 60 receive a “fail.” Students who do not reach the required minimum must complete the outstanding topics by submitting additional assignments, essays, or, if necessary, a written test.
