Program Description

The MSc in Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) is an interdisciplinary graduate program of study for students with a safety, health or environment background intending to become SHE professionals. It is the final stage of a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master of Science in Safety, Health and Environment. The Masters program requires 72 UOC, is normally completed in one and a half years of full study (or equivalent part time) and is available on campus and off campus study modes, with approximately equal emphasis given to Occupational Health and Safety; Environmental Science; and SHE management. The program is designed to accept graduates from many health, science, environment, engineering or management disciplines.
