University of Ulster new course
PgC /PgD /MSc Environmental Health Management and Practice (Part‐Time)
The Programme:
The main aims of the programme are:
To enable practitioners to advance their professional development
To provide the opportunity for practitioners from several professions to network, work together and develop partnerships transferable to professional practice
To enhance professional management skills and knowledge.
The programme is designed to provide core development for professionals through the delivery of four compulsory modules central to the practice of environmental health. A further range of flexible options to cater for a wide range of disciplines and specialisms including management, environmental protection, acoustics, health and safety and public health, complete the PgD element of the course.
These options cater for both managerial and practitioner development within environmental health and wider disciplines. With the current and imminent changes within the public sector, and the tendency towards larger Environmental Services Directorates, this course should appeal to professionals from Building Control, Technical Services, Housing, Health Promotion, and other environmental health related backgrounds, who wish to gain the necessary management and technical knowledge to broaden their sphere of expertise and progress their career. In this regard it is unique within the Northern Ireland context.
An added learning dimension to the course is the cross disciplinary nature of the study involving inter‐sectoral collaboration through the wide range of modules available. The programme structure is presented below together with a summary for each module. The Programme Team plans to review the options available on a yearly basis with potential for additions (community planning, food safety, housing…).
