Students at the University of Alberta enrolled in the Occupational Health and Safety Professional Diploma program will learn from industry professionals and get the education they need to excel in the OHS field.

This program was specifically designed with courses that reflect the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals’ CRSP accreditation requirements. That means students will graduate meeting industry needs, and will get a more straightforward path from which to build their career. Students will be equipped with not only OHS skills, but business processes and protocols, effective decision making skills, leadership techniques, and teamwork skills that will aid them in their career.

Students will have up to eight years to complete the 12 required courses, and 131 hours of elective courses, though the majority of students are able to complete the program in 2-3 years.

Admission Requirements

  • OHS certificate

What You’ll Learn

  • How to identify and explore ethical issues within the workplace.
  • An understanding how psychology is implemented in a health and safety role.
  • How to define and describe potential risks in a working environment.

As a working educator, I appreciated the flexibility and relevance of the University of Alberta's Master of Education program. The curriculum balanced theory and practice, allowing me to immediately apply what I learned in my classroom and school community. The collaborative environment fostered meaningful discussions with peers from diverse backgrounds, and those connections became one of the most valuable parts of my experience.
