COURSE CONTENT Year 1 • Learning to Learn • Training and Computing • Environmental Science – Theory • Environmental Science - Practical • Occupational Health, Hygiene and Hazards • Legislation

There is a continuing demand across industry and the public sector for qualified environmental, health and safety practitioners, as organisations try to keep ahead of the vast range of legislation that now applies in these areas. Health and safety officers and managers, occupational health personnel, environmental officers amongst others, play a pivotal role in implementing policies and programmes and complying with their legal responsibilities in this regard.

This Bachelor of Science in Environmental, Health and Safety Management (Level 7) combines these two different, but related disciplines that are increasingly operationally linked in the work place. It is aimed at Higher Certificate holders, who wish to obtain a degree level qualification, as well as those already employed in environmental, health and safety positions who wish to obtain a recognised degree in this discipline.
