In our increasingly busy world, health and safety professionals can be responsible for mitigating environmental forces alongside preventing accidents and work-related ill-health. Build the skills and knowledge to rise to this challenge with our MSc Safety, Health and Environment postgraduate degree at the University of Salford. Designed to both meet the continuing professional development needs of established industry personnel, and provide a vocational qualification for those seeking a career in Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) practice, this course provides interdisciplinary postgraduate level knowledge and skill progression. The curriculum reflects the growing trend of organisations combining environmental protection and health and safety functions. This Masters degree is accredited by both the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).
Studied full-time on campus over one year, you will explore modules such as Occupational Health and Hygiene, Environmental Impact Assessment, and Risk Regulation. Throughout your studies, you will develop your professional practice and research design skills, culminating in a substantial dissertation in your final trimester. This course provides you with the essential knowledge and practical skills to excel in SHE roles, preparing you for career progression and enabling you to fast track to PIEMA (Practitioner Status) once you complete a work-based competence assessment.
