DURATION: 2 YEARS (PART TIME)
Providing a healthy and safe work place whilst protecting
the environment is now paramount for every business
and industry. Our MSc in Environmental, Health and
Safety (EHS) Management will provide you with practical
management skills. Our online course is designed for
busy professionals who wish to develop their knowledge
base, network with like-minded individuals and further
their career.
This is a two-year part-time course aimed at Honours
Degree graduates of Science, Engineering or
related areas. Graduates will be able to manage the
Environmental, Health and Safety affairs of organisations
and will be capable of developing management
strategies for these areas compatible with other
organisational functions.
The taught elements of the course are delivered over
two academic years.
Modules taught in the first year include environmental
systems and technologies dealing with the technical
aspects of environmental science such as: water
pollution; air pollution; waste management; noise and
vibration; energy and ecology. The occupational safety
and health modules deal with hazard identification and
risk assessment; machine and electrical safety; accident
investigation and reporting; occupational hygiene;
chemical safety and the handling, storage and transport
of hazardous materials; and occupational health
and ergonomics.
The second year focuses on environmental legislation;
safety and health legislation; environmental impact
assessment; policy and planning; environmental systems
and auditing; safety and quality management systems;
and management theory and practice. Visits to industrial
and municipal workplaces form a significant part of
the course.
Entry Requirements:
Applicants with a Level 8 Honours Degree in Science or
Engineering or in a related area are eligible to apply.
Career Opportunities:
An ever increasing number of organisations are
implementing EHS management systems based on
International and European standards. These systems
enable companies to take a proactive rather than
reactive approach to managing their EHS affairs.
Since the introduction of EPA licensing approximately
1,000 Irish organisations have been issued with
licenses, a condition of these includes a requirement
to implement an Environmental Management System.
Many other organisations are also considering, or are in
the process of implementing, systems to ensure better
management of their EHS affairs. Once these systems
are in place, considerable resources are required for
their continued operation, management
and improvement.
What are my further study
opportunities?
Graduates may have an opportunity to undertake
research leading to the award of PhD at IT Sligo or at
other third level institutes.
