Accreditation
As part of the governance process, accreditation of each course has been sought from an appropriate professional organisation. The following accreditations have been awarded
- MSc Occupational Hygiene Practice – Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists & the British Occupational Hygiene Society.
- MSc & Graduate Certificate Occupational Health & Safety – Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (UK)
Accreditation is a process of ensuring that courses meet a level that is acceptable to meet the educational requirements of membership of a professional association. With accreditation comes a robust process of overview from the accrediting body with regular reviews to ensure standards are maintained and teaching materials are current.
