IOSH membership 

This programme has been accredited by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). Enrolled students can access IOSH Student Membership for the duration of their studies and, on successful completion, they will meet the academic requirements for Graduate (Grad IOSH) membership. Graduate membership is the gateway to Chartered status. As IOSH is the only organisation in the world that offers Chartered membership to health and safety practitioners, this can help you achieve the highest professional standards and gain international recognition.

Please note:

•  Following the implementation of the IOSH Membership Review during 2021, IOSH conditions of membership require evidence of experience which will be required in addition to any accredited qualification. Graduate (Grad IOSH) membership will change its title to Certified member.
• IOSH retain the right to change its membership standards, recognition and grade entry requirements.
