Program Description

The Graduate Certificate in Ergonomics is intended to provide professionals from other disciplines with an awareness of the principles of ergonomics sufficient for them to be able to identify ergonomics problems in human-technology-environment systems and to be able to recommend a user-centred, systems approach to their assessment and control. It is the first stage in a fully articulated sequence of Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master of Science & Technology programs in ergonomics.

The program requires 24 units of credit (UOC) and is normally completed in six months of full-time (or equivalent part-time) study, and is available in on-campus or off-campus learning mode.
