This add-on degree programme combines two distinct but related disciplines that are increasingly operationally linked in the work place: health and safety, and environmental management. It is aimed at higher certificate holders who wish to obtain the necessary skills to seek employment in these areas and, perhaps more importantly, it provides an opportunity for those already employed in environmental, health and safety positions to obtain a formal and recognised qualification. Successful completion of this programme will facilitate membership of the appropriate professional body, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
Minimum Entry Requirements

In the case of mature applicants (23 or over), five years’ relevant work experience will be considered for equivalency.

In addition to the formal entry requirements, all applicants are also required to attend an interview as part of the final selection process.
