The MSc has been developed against a background of significant change in both the public and the private sector. These changes have been brought about largely by a government committed to self-regulation by industry, and the encouragement of greater accountability from those responsible for the enforcement of legislative standards. In addition industry recognises the need to develop appropriate strategies to control significant risks to consumers, employees, and the environment. This programme of study seeks to offer those in industry, statutory enforcement agencies and non-statutory bodies an opportunity to enhance those critical skills necessary to operate within this changing environment. Central Government through agencies such as the Health and Safety Executive and the Health Protection Agency are recognising that the workplace can contribute to the health and well being of employees and the wider community. To reflect this, the programme seeks to develop an appreciation of the value of the promotion of positive health as well as health protection and disease prevention in the workplace. This is reflected in the curriculum where particular attention is paid to the discussion of policies and strategies to enable the creation of health and safety cultures that not only protect but also enhance health. Course Content: The programme is designed to meet the needs of those in both the public and private sectors. Modules currently offered are:
A mixture of coursework and case studies. Selection Procedure: Selection is initially by way of an application form, although applicants may be interviewed.
