You'll be ready for a career in the oil and gas, chemical, nuclear and pharmaceutical industries or with any of the consultancies that service them.
Reducing risks to employees, the public and the environment from exposure to major hazard events is a high priority for industry. This unique MSc was established over 25 years ago jointly by us, the Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Health and Safety Executive.
