The Graduate Diploma 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.

The Graduate Diploma requires 48 UOC, is normally completed in one year of full time study (or equivalent part-time) and is available in 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 design to accept graduates from many health, science, environment, engineering and management disciplines.
