Enhance your skills in process safety, loss prevention and risk assessment to prepare you for a career in the oil and gas, chemical, nuclear and pharmaceutical industries.

Course description

Whether you’re already working in the field or just starting out, this course will deepen your understanding and equip you with skills and expertise in process safety, loss prevention and risk assessment. You'll be ready for a career in the oil and gas, chemical, nuclear and pharmaceutical industries or with any of the consultancies that service them.

Reducing risks to employees, the public and the environment from exposure to major hazard events is a high priority for industry. This unique MSc was established over 25 years ago jointly by us, the Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Health and Safety Executive.

We've brought together leading experts with years of experience in oil and gas, chemical, nuclear and pharmaceutical sectors. Many of the course tutors are from industry, with decades of experience and from specialist consultancies, as well as former industry process safety professionals now based at the University.

We are accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
