Program Description

This program is designed as a specialist program that builds on a previous four year bachelor's degree in engineering or a related discipline. It is suitable for people who manage safety as part of their line management role and wish to extend their learning in their base discipline in addition to gaining a grounding in safety. It is also suitable for people looking for a specialist program building on a first degree in safety. In addition to the core there is a wide choice of elective courses to suit students from widely varying backgrounds. No fundamental knowledge courses are required for this program as the specialist area chosen must be based on the discipline of the student's first degree. The program requires 48 units of credit and is normally completed in one year of full-time (or equivalent part-time) study, and is available in on campus or off campus learning mode.
