Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental Management Specialisation

The Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental Management specialisation provides advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in the occupational health, safety and environmental management field, through lectures, workshops, projects and directed study.

It is most suited for students who are already working in this field, although it can be undertaken by students in allied fields who want a career change to health, safety and environment roles.

You will learn to critically evaluate the social, economic and environmental impacts of policy and management decisions and analyse current and emerging issues in health, safety and environmental management. You will also develop the skills to apply new and current strategies and to take a leadership role in responding to change in this very dynamic and challenging field.

Career Opportunities

Career opportunities, especially for those with prior experience in the health, safety and environmental management fields, are excellent. There is a strong demand with all industries for people with industry experience and postgraduate qualifications in this field.
