ST3000.1
Available to students in other Western Sydney University Courses :
NO
The Occupational Safety, Health & Environmental Management specialisation provides advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in the occupational health, safety and environmental management field. It is most suited for students who are already working in this field, although can be undertaken by students in allied fields who want a career change to Health, Safety and Environment roles. Students will learn to critically evaluate the social, economic and environmental impacts of policy and management decisions and analyse current and emerging issues in health, safety and environmental management. They will also develop the skills to develop new or adapt current strategies and to take a leadership role in responding to change in this very dynamic and challenging field. Students enrolled in the Masters will be required to undertake a half year pilot research project and develop a change management strategy for a current OSHEM issue. The specialisation is offered in both full time and part time modes with a multimodal attendance pattern through a combination of compulsory on-campus workshops, facilitated on-campus tutorials, and extensive use of the Western Sydney University e-learning support system.
