Effective health and safety practices are fundamental to the success of any organization. Whether individuals work as operations managers, office managers, engineers, or technicians, they are actively involved in establishing and maintaining a safe working environment. The MSc Health and Safety program, accredited by the Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) – the world's leading Professional Body for Health and Safety Practitioners, aims to enhance students' understanding of how different organizations implement varying levels of safety procedures and assess their overall impact on the company.
Prospective learners have the option to pursue either the postgraduate degree or the postgraduate diploma program to receive an IOSH-accredited award. For those who have already completed an IOSH-accredited PG Dip, the MSc course presents the opportunity to upgrade their qualification to an MSc through the study of two additional research modules.
By examining an organization holistically, students acquire a comprehensive knowledge of various departments such as marketing, sales, and human resources, and how these areas are influenced by the implemented processes and procedures. Furthermore, learners develop their comprehension of both the technical and human facets of health and safety, enabling them to discern whether issues arise from equipment malfunctions
or human error.
This Master's course is conducted by health and safety practitioners or specialists from diverse occupational sectors. Moreover, the institution offers exceptional facilities to assist students in establishing strong connections with potential employers.
Upon successful completion of the MSc in Health and Safety, students become eligible for graduate membership of IOSH. They can initiate the development of their portfolio and professional growth plan to attain Chartered Safety and Health Practitioner status. This achievement may lead graduates to pursue a new career in health and safety or advance their current opportunities for promotion within the sector.
