You’ll get to grips with the legislation surrounding employee welfare, and consider the professional and ethical responsibilities of employers.

    Occupational Health program structure

    You can study occupational health at various undergraduate and graduate levels. One-year certificate programs and two-year associate degrees provide comprehensive groundings in the field. They also offer a useful route into entry-level employment or further study.

    Bachelor’s degrees are broader and more in-depth programs of study. They’re studied over a minimum of three years, or four years if you enroll at a US university. Taking your BSc in the US means you’ll study liberal arts modules alongside your occupational health major.

    Master’s degrees in occupational health are usually studied full-time over one year, or part-time over two. Entry requirements differ between universities but, as a general rule, you’ll need to have a bachelor’s degree in a related field.

    If you’re interested in conducting an original research project, you might consider studying a PhD or MPhil. Course length varies from student to student, but they usually take between four and seven years to finish.

    You’ll be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, and workplace visits. To gain hands-on experience, you might be required to undertake a professional placement as part of your course too.

    You’ll take a mixture of theoretical and practical modules in the following core areas:

    • Principles and practices of occupational health practice
    • Occupational health management
    • Workplace health-risk management
    • Health surveillance
    • Workplace health promotion
    • Mental wellbeing in the workplace
    • Absence management
    • Occupational ergonomics
