MS.c in Occupational and Process Safety

Overview

MSc in Occupational and Process Safety explores topics which cover a wide range of disciplines in relation to process safety, such as; process control, process reliability, human factors in system design and control, engineering ethics, occupational health, environmental impacts as well as toxicology, fires and explosions, safety procedures and design, and relief systems. Students will study process management and how it can support the implementation and management of safety procedures/systems in chemical processes. The course has been developed in response to the growing interest in occupational and process safety, strongly supportive feedback from our graduates, and our strengths in research and teaching within this area, including the expertise in Fire and Explosion Research. The course has been designed for total 36 credit hours including 18 credit hours for courses and 18 credit hours for thesis.
