Master of Ergonomics, Safety and Health articulated with Bachelor of Health Sciences (Ergonomics, Safety and Health)

During Semester 2 of this Masters year, three of the four subjects (all except an elective) entail working under the supervision of OHS professionals in ‘work experience’ positions.

Students may apply for entry into an Honours program (entry based on academic merit), which requires an additional part-time year of study.

Students who are not taking the Honours program will graduate at the end of this year with a Master of Ergonomics, Safety and Health (M.ESH).
