As you will arrive with relevant workplace experience that the programme builds on, you would be expected to obtain Certified IOSH Membership (or equivalent) immediately or to consolidate Chartered or Chartered Fellow Membership. This will enable you to apply for roles at mid to senior levels in organisations.

Students often move into global roles expanding on their previous roles that include energy generation, construction, manufacturing and railway sectors. We have some students from HS2 with some from the public service sector – most students are already entering with Level 6 knowledge and are Certified Members of IOSH.

Some students will choose to study for doctoral level award or move into a research-based organisation.
