Study Details: MSc: 1 year full-time, 3 years part-time
We offer one of the few postgraduate environmental health courses in the UK which is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and can provide a direct route into the profession. You will gain the required skills to prepare you for a career as an environmental health practitioner by fully analysing the five main intervention areas, consisting of housing, food safety, occupational health and safety, environmental protection and public health. This involves understanding the environmental stress factors and their effect on human health and safety, together with the legal and technical frameworks for controlling these risks.
The opportunity to interact with students from other vocational courses will broaden your perspective of environmental health issues. There is also the opportunity for you to engage in work-related activities which will help you work towards professional registration as an environmental health practitioner.

You may be able to gain graduate membership of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and do the assessments required to register as a practitioner.
