Posted By Binodbikash Simkhada I have got an offer letter from Uni of Glamorgan to study MSc Safety, health and Environmental Mangement. This course leads to a professional registration with ISOH as a Graduate Member. I am not yet sure about the job market of Health and Safety. Does this degree/ registration opens the door to a wide job market? What sort of job and/or work place will be working for? Please share your ideas and experiences to this rookie. Many Thanks Ben

Posted By Binodbikash Simkhada Thanks Mike ! I am completely new to this field. I have never worked as a health and safety personal at any level. By qualification and profession I am a dental nurse now and have worked as same at different institutions in past 3 years. Where do I stand in finding a job after having the post grad degree in Health and Safety??

Posted By jayjay Hi ! Can i ask you what the University asked you in relation to qualifications you have because i was always under the impression that you had to have a qualification in H&S to gain entry. I,ve got NVQ4 and i know some uni's won't accept you if you don't have the Diploma. It's just that you said you were new to H&S and i was curious. I can try for entry through Portsmouth Uni through my NVQ4, however i've not gone for it yet. Good luck with the course anyway ! Regards,JJ

Posted By John Donaldson Karen is correct about there being a lot of opportunities for Radiation Protection Advisors in the UK. However unless you are already working in the radiation protection field it is unlikely you would have the experience to obtain a Certificate of Competence as is required under IRR99 in the UK.

Posted By Binodbikash Simkhada Thanks everyone for responding. RPA at Dental Pracitce: Generally Principal Dentist is the RPA. BUT, I am half way through Dental Radiography, which qulaifies me to be RPA in a Dental Practice, but again I wont have no any experience as RPA. Practical experience as an Inturn/student: How much will this count when finding a job? I am ready and willing to take even some volunteer job related to HSE. Reply to JJ: I was given enrolment into the course on the basis of my BSc Heath Science degree from Uni of Aberdeen.( Not Dental Nursing)
