Occupational safety and health is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health and welfare of people at work. The concern for occupational safety is not only for industries which are high-risk such as construction sites, ship yards and container terminals but also for non-industrial worksites. Apart from focusing on areas of health and safety, the curriculum integrates business management into the mix of specialized technical health and safety skills to balance scientific with real-world management. You will spend your final year in internship, to gain skills and exposure that enhance your learning experiences. The Diploma in Occupational Safety & Health programme at Management and Science University aims to produce graduates capable of maintaining a safe and healthy environment in the 21st-century workplace. You will be equiped to pursue your studies at a higher level or enter the job market.
