Course delivery
This course is taught face-to-face at one of our UK campuses.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of our published course information. However, our programmes are subject to ongoing review and development. Changing circumstances may cause alteration to, or the cancellation of, courses. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or revisions to subject benchmarks statements. As well as to keep courses updated and contemporary, or as a result of student feedback. We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
Future careers
The skills gained on this course equip you for a career as a senior safety specialist in a number of high-hazard industries including oil and gas, product safety engineering, process safety and chemical plants.
As this course is supported by an established research base and continues to demonstrate a strong and co-ordinated industrial link, the content is highly relevant and current, which means our graduates are sought after.
A number of our graduates continue with us on research degrees (MPhil/PhD) studies within the Centre in Fire and Hazards in the areas of fire and explosion safety engineering, fire modelling, computational fluid dynamics and others.
The course is also relevant to occupations such as regulators and insurance assessors.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
