    Masters of Occupational Hygiene / Occupational Health and Safety Science

    About

    Graduate job-ready with the skills and knowledge to work as both an occupational health and safety professional, and a specialist occupational hygienist.

    Designed for science, engineering and health science graduates, this dual master-level qualification will prepare you for a broad range of roles related to the management of the health and safety of workers in any industry.

    It will equip you with comprehensive knowledge and skills to identify and manage the full range of hazards that present in the workplace, from traumatic accidents to longer-term health hazards like cancer and psychological harm.

    In your 2 years of full-time (or part-time equivalent) study, you'll complete 14 courses and get extensive industry exposure, including a 240-hour industry placement and a specific occupational hygiene research project. The program will extend your independence as a researcher and help refine your work-ready skills in both discipline areas.

    At UQ, degrees are called 'programs' and subjects are called 'courses'.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Previous degree or professional experience

    The previous study you need to have completed will depend on the program you want to study.

    For most programs, you'll need to have completed an approved degree equivalent to an Australian bachelor's degree. However, for some programs we'll consider other relevant experience, such as work experience.

    For some programs, we'll only accept previous study in specific disciplines. This ensures you have the required level of subject area knowledge to succeed in your program.

    Minimum grade point average

    For most programs, you need to have achieved a minimum grade point average (GPA) in your previous studies. Your GPA is a measure of academic performance based on the:

    • grades you received, and
    • number of units you completed in a degree.

    We use a 7-point grading scale, where a 4 is a pass and 7 is the highest grade. Different institutions use many different grading scales and methods for calculating GPAs.

    When you apply, we'll convert the grades you received in your previous studies to the UQ grading scale. We may exclude certain non-academic subjects and include all failing grades.

    • mark it with your UQ student number (if you know it), family name, first name, date of birth, and the UQ program you have applied for
    • state that you have already submitted an application.

    Step 3: Submit your application

    When you're satisfied your application is complete, submit it.

    You'll need to pay a A$100 fee for each application you submit. This fee can't be refunded.
