Master of Science degree in Environmental Health Engineering (MSc EHE)

 

This MSc program provides an accredited pathway for science-based graduates to become environmental health experts. The course covers the recognition, evaluation, and control of chemical, physical, and biological hazards in the community and teaches the sciences of exposure measurement, exposure control, and assessment of health effects of environmental exposures. We recognize the value of providing practical experience and expertise to our students, in addition to the taught elements of the course. Site visits are arranged to enable students to put into practice their newly acquired skills.
The course supports building the foundation of competence through the knowledge and skills required by the EHE curriculum. This course fulfills the academic requirements to become a graduate Environmental Health Officer. Students benefit from being taught in a research-intense environment and are encouraged to develop their critical thinking and research skills. This program enables students to expand their existing base of knowledge by engaging in an approved curriculum of coursework (30 graduate units), taking 2-3 years to complete on a full-time basis. We welcome international students to join our courses.
