Course details

Health and Safety Leadership course structure & details

After completing your foundational courses as part of your MBA or EMBA program, you’ll start your Health and Safety Leadership specialty stream.


The stream includes 3 courses: The Business Case for OHS Change, Enterprise Risk Management, and Essential Communication and Interpersonal Skills for Health and Safety Leaders. These courses will follow a similar format as the foundational courses – they’ll include one virtual class (vClass) a week, taking place between Monday and Thursday, typically lasting 1.5 – 2 hours.


The courses are designed to offer practical applications of theoretical knowledge, so you’ll know how to apply your skills to real-world scenarios.
