Answering the world’s demand for environmental and occupational professionals
Growing threats to environmental and occupational health have made understanding the risks of our built and natural environments more important than ever.
You will find graduates of our Department of Environmental and Occupational Health working to make a difference all over the world. They are inspectors and detectives who assess and ensure the safety of working conditions, water, food, and air quality. Some work to promote sustainable societies and the benefits of green space.
