The Master of Work Health & Safety provides an intensive professional program of study in the area of occupational health & safety with specialisations available in Ergonomics or Occupational Hygiene.

Knowledge and skill development throughout the course is applied to a research-based capstone workplace project in the final stage of the degree program to develop a high level of evidence-based professional practice in the selected occupational health and safety specialisation.  The student is responsible for sourcing that project.  A suitable research based project will be allowed if a workplace project cannot be found.
