Students who exit after satisfactory completion of Year 1 and 2 subjects will be awarded a Graduate Diploma in Ergonomics, Safety and Health. Year 3 (part-time) Students will need to select either Mode 1 or Mode 2 depending on their interests. It is possible to change your mode prior to commencement of the third year. You will need to make an initial selection on entering the program but this can be altered.

Ergonomics is an area of specialist practice within OH&S. La Trobe University graduates have a particular advantage since the course is informed by our ergonomics research on the prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and on the management of psychosocial hazards, which are the two largest challenges currently confronting OH&S professionals in industrially developed countries throughout the world. Following graduation, full professional status requires completion of specified periods of supervised professional practice, prior to applying for certification as a generalist OHS professional or to become a Certified Professional Ergonomist.
