Entry requirements

There are three possible options for entry into this program - as per follows:

1. Students who have completed the GD OHS or equivlent can apply for 48 ucs towards the Master of Occupational Health and Safety. All other applications for Credit Transfer will be assessed by the Program Director on a case-by-case basis.

3. Consideration may also be given on an individual basis to applicants with professional OHS (non-degree) qualifications or equivalent and who have had at least five years work experience at a middle or higher management level; or other relevant qualifications but working towards professional OHS career development.

Students applying for entry via this alternative approach will need to provide and show the ability to write high level report writing; read and analyse academic literature, government policy texts and create detailed reports; and complete high level numeric tasks applicable to workplace situations.
