James With regards an MSc, each university will offer different courses and require different entry requirements - but on the whole they usually are the same. With regards your foundation degree - I suspect this on its own may not be sufficient. I say this as usually for a Safety MSc, the academic requirements would be either a full Undergraduate degree OR a NEBOSH Diploma, with the latter subject to a possible interview to assess suitability. On my MSc there was one individual who did not have a BSc nor a NEBOSH Dip - but somehow used prior experience and a combination of Foundation type courses to gain entry, through what I believe is the APL or APEL (Accreditation of Prior Learning) Route. I would consult the individual Uni's for comment but I suspect you will be advised to gain further credits to bolster your Foundation degree upto a full degree OR complete the NEBOSH Dip (or equivalent) - that said this is my thoughts based on my MSc course. Your membership grade would depend on the course taken - my MSc at Salford gave me Grad IOSH status as it was an IOSH accredited degree - however some others are not, and so would probably lead to TechIOSH membership. From what you have said I would look at doing the NEBOSH Dip or look at making your foundation degree up to a full degree, as this would then allow you to complete the MSc. I went from a BSc in Science to the MSc in Safety and did no NEBOSH Quals - so in some respects you will have a better start with regards safety knowldge and underpinnning by completing the Diploma. Whatever route you choose - all the best! Jamie
