As sustainability becomes ever more important, there are a wide range of career opportunities in managing environmental impacts and Health & Safety. Sunderland’s postgraduate training is designed to give you the skills and professionalism to take up these opportunities. Our course is accredited by IOSH, the leading chartered body for Health & Safety professionals, which demonstrates the real-world value of this Masters.

This Masters is one of the few postgraduate courses to include an eight-week placement for all students. This allows you to apply your new skills in the workplace. The placements can be extended by a further 12 weeks and many placements have led to job offers.

You will be taught by academic staff with wide practical experience as well as active research interests. Research specialisms include air pollution, contaminated land and environmental accountability.

Modules include ‘Environmental Auditing and Management Systems’, ‘Environmental Impact Assessment’ and ‘Pollution, Monitoring and Control’.
There are two modules on Health & Safety. You can negotiate the topic of your research project to fit your personal interests and career aspirations.

If you would prefer to study by distance learning, and to have a greater focus on Health & Safety, we also offer Environmental Management and Assessment - Health and Safety MSc.
