Programme Objectives

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) Safety, Health and Environmental Management programme aims to provide an education which equips students with a range of knowledge and practical skills, which will support a career as Health and Safety Practitioners in both the private and public sectors. It is anticipated that such a practitioner will have the ability to contribute to their organisations, the wider community, profession and wider society. Students will have acquired in-depth knowledge and developed appropriate related skills that are associated with, competent Risk Management strategies and techniques. Students successfully completing the programme will be prepared for the world of work as Health and Safety Practitioners. Such practitioners will have the ability and attitudes to develop, deliver and evaluate occupational health and safety issues in a range of settings, contributing to and securing enhanced professional practice through the continuing professional development and lifelong learning. Environmental Management as well as elements of Occupational Health and Well Being are also included within the course, because these areas are often included within the remit of the Health and Safety Practitioner, and whilst it involves a separate body of scientific, technical and legal knowledge, the same skills and competencies are required by practitioners in this area.
