About Postgraduate Health and Safety

Health and safety is a professional field dedicated to understanding and minimising risks to human health and wellbeing across a wide range of public, industrial, corporate or residential settings. Nearly every organisation will require health and safety expertise at some point. Many of the health and safety improvements seen in the workplace over recent years are due to progress in this field.

Postgraduate students of health and safety may specialise in areas such as noise control, animal interaction, accident investigation or occupational health. Job options can be found in many industries so it’s useful to decide what industry interests you the most.

There are over 40 postgraduate courses in health and safety on offer at more than 25 UK universities, from postgraduate diplomas to full master’s degrees and PhD qualifications.

What to expect

While the entry requirements vary from course to course, you will usually need a relevant undergraduate degree and some related work experience.

Common topics covered on a postgraduate course in health and safety include, standards and auditing, occupational health and hygiene, risk assessments, accident investigation and safety management systems.

On average, health and safety advisors earn between £22,000 and £50,000 depending on their level of responsibility, area of expertise and the size of organisation they work for. With experience you might decide to set up as a consultant or become a health and safety trainer.
