This postgraduate course in Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Management (OHSEM) offers a qualification that provides a sound business and technical basis to support the implementation of hazard identification, risk assessment and control measures, and to monitor their effectiveness. This course includes study in the areas of envionmental assessment and modelling, auditing, environmental and safety law, epidemiology and research methods. The capstone unit for the Masters is a work-related research project.
While focusing on safety and environmental responsibility, the OHSEM courses address generic managerial skills and issues applicable across the spectrum of business administration. The increasing professionalisation of OHSE and the recent introduction of national legislation have created growing demand for this new specialisation. Graduates of this course will have enhanced employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
