This course, offered by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, assists occupational health professionals to prevent and manage occupational health problems. It provides the skills necessary to evaluate health problems in communities thought to be associated with industrial activities. It caters for the special needs of medical practitioners, nurses, allied health personnel, scientists and OHS managers.
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree in an appropriate discipline and relevant professional experience. The department will individually assess applications from students without a three-year degree. In such instances, the department may require completion of the Graduate Certificate in Occupational Health or Graduate Diploma in Occupational and Environmental Health before enrolling in the masters program.
The course can be taken full-time over 12 to 18 months (three semesters) or part-time over three years. The majority of the program course is offered by off-campus learning, with compulsory block requirements each semester. The course consists of six core units and two elective options of six units.
Assessment includes web-based tasks, written assignments, student presentations and examinations.
