Across the world there is increasing demand for qualified and professional safety and hygiene professionals. Their roles and responsibilities now often encompass environmental issues. This programme is a novel approach to delivering health, safety and hygiene training and will allow a wider range of applicants to gain access to this growing field of employment.
Students who do not have an appropriate qualification in health and safety or occupational hygiene are required to successfully complete an introductory "prerequisite" course before further study. Students wishing to register with the British Occupational Hygiene Society must complete a dissertation on occupational hygiene. The courses are delivered by distance learning combined with local tutorial support. Students are registered at a distance learning centre most convenient for them.
Career options
Graduates have opportunities as safety advisers; safety officers; safety, health and environment advisers; and occupational hygienists within private and public sectors, both nationally and internationally.

The main systems for measuring this are IELTS with a minimum score of 6.0 for degree programmes or TOEFL with a minimum score of 550 for degree programmes.
