MSc (Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety)

A multidisciplinary programme that prepares graduates to be competent practitioners in workplace safety, exposure assessment, worker health & wellbeing and environmental sustainability. Our programmes are Internationally accredited to professional bodies such as the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health UK (IOSH), the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) and the Irish Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI), which means that this postgraduate qualification is recognised internationally. The programme is also recognised by the Health and Safety Authority and offered on both a full-time and part-time basis.

The minimum entry requirement is an Honours BSc level 8 degree, or its equivalent in an appropriate discipline, as determined by the College of Science and Engineering. Students without an adequate academic background but with relevant work experience may be required to attend for interview. As both programmes are Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) Category 11 approved courses, nurses applying to undertake either programme must be registered with the NMBI and have a valid cert and PIN (personal identification number).
