In Brief

Changes in the legal framework, the increasing complexity of occupational health and safety management, corporate mergers, the quest for competitive advantage and new individual aspirations are challenging issues for occupational health and safety managers. These changes are forcing them to review their traditional management methods and incorporate a more strategic vision and new knowledge and skills. This MBA will provide you with knowledge in every management function, in organizational health as well as in strategic and integrated OHS management. You will also develop skills in the prevention of workplace accidents, occupational illness and stress, as well as in people management. This practice-oriented program includes many opportunities to apply your learning outcomes to the realities of organizations. It includes an intervention project.
