This distance-learning Master’s in Occupational Hygiene covers all aspects of occupational hygiene, emphasising learning, research and essential critical thinking.
Occupational hygiene is concerned with the identification, evaluation and management of chemical, physical and biological agents arising from work. There's currently a huge demand from large multinational companies for trained occupational hygienists.
Our master's course covers all aspects of occupational hygiene, and you will complete a dissertation based on an occupational hygiene topic. You'll be able to apply for funding from the British Occupational Hygiene Society to cover any research costs involved.
Occupational hygienists are employed in a wide range of industries, including the petrochemical industry, manufacturing, mining, aero-industry, service sectors and the health sector. Many hygienists are also actively involved in research in a range of related fields.
An undergraduate (honours) degree at 2:2, or above, in Science or Engineering and be currently working in the field of Occupational Hygiene, or in Health and Safety and wanting to move into Occupational Hygiene.
We expect applicants to have an understanding of relevant workplace risks.
Applicants without a degree that have professional qualifications or relevant professional experience may be considered.
