Introduction

The MSc Occupational Health and Safety Leadership is a programme for those who have an interest in the management of health and safety at work. The programme presents health and safety leadership within a problem-solving framework and is designed around two central activities: identifying and managing contemporary risks to health and safety and developing effective leadership strategies. The course is offered on a part-time, flexible learning basis over 24 or 36 months. Face-to-face teaching, tutorials, and workshop-based teaching with experts are both supported and enhanced by an e-learning environment. For the course you will require: a personal computer with a word-processing programme; email and internet access; the ability to be organised and work independently; and a willingness to engage in teamwork. Accreditation The MSc in Occupational Health and Safety Leadership is accredited by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), Europe’s professional body for leading health and safety professionals. This confers eligibility for graduate membership leading to chartership with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. Course structure You will complete 120 credits of taught modules plus an empirical research project worth 60 credits, or one major (40 credits) and one minor (20 credits) dissertation on topics relevant to your area of interest in occupational health and safety. The programme is organised in workshop-based modules. These 20 credit modules will be organised over two weeks with face-to-face teaching taking place during weekends and three evenings. The schedule for the different modules will be published in advance so that you can plan your schedule accordingly. The timetable for taught modules for the year ahead will be published each July.
