This Bachelor of Science in Environmental, Health and Safety Management (Level 7) combines these two different, but related disciplines that are increasingly operationally linked in the work place. It is aimed at higher certificate holders who wish to obtain a degree level qualification, as well as those already employed in environmental, health and safety positions who wish to obtain a recognised degree in this discipline.

Successful completion of this programme will facilitate membership of the appropriate professional body, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
