System Safety Engineering and Management Course

You must complete 12 credit points comprising four core units. There are no electives in this program. The program duration is six months across two terms, and you will study two units per term. For further study, graduates may consider EIT’s Master of Engineering (Safety, Risk and Reliability)

The course learning outcomes will be assessed with formative and summative assessments. These formal and informal assessment methods include quizzes, invigilated tests, written research reports, remote-lab practicals, case studies and portfolios.

• Upon completion of this graduate certificate, graduates will have communication (oral and written) skills to investigate, analyse and present technical ideas, information and solutions on issues in relation to system safety and management in a professional, independent and organised manner within the engineering domain.
• Graduates of this program will be able to identify, critically analyse and creatively solve intellectually complex, specialised professional engineering problems in safety systems, process safety, safety lifecycle, risk reduction, asset management, safety management and asset integrity.
• Graduates of this program will have an in-depth understanding of synthesis and design in specialist bodies of knowledge across a multitude of tools and techniques required to implement a Safety Management System (SMS).

Students who have a Graduate Certificate in System Safety Engineering and Management can enhance their ability and knowledge in the engineering – safety, risk and reliability field, enabling them to gain and hold employment.

Graduates will be able to work in a wide range engineering sector in mid-career, technical management or senior level role.
