The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health and Safety (BSc in EHS) is a cutting-edge multidisciplinary program designed to meet the growing needs of industry and provide students with the skills to ensure occupational environmental protection, health, and safety in the workplace. The program covers major environmental issues including sustainability, renewable energy, water quality and management, pollution monitoring, hazardous materials operations and awareness, risk assessments, waste management, and occupational health and safety.
You will be provided with high-end knowledge in environmental health and safety and internship training that bridges academic knowledge with practical application in the workplace. You will learn how to identify and minimize the effects of different types of hazards that can affect the health and safety of employees. These include those related to ergonomics, thermal, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and radioactivity, as well as hazardous materials and waste. The program covers the fundamental scientific, legal, and technological principles underlying environmental health issues, looking at the circumstances giving rise to health inequalities, analyzing the environmental impact and health risks, and identifying appropriate interventions.
Abu Dhabi University’s BSc in EHS is the only such program offered in the UAE. Our growing industry collaborations with organizations such as Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD), Occupational Safety and Health Center-Abu Dhabi (OSHAD), Camfil Clean Air Solutions, Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA), and Abu Dhabi Quality Conformity Council (QCC) enrich the research and learning opportunities.
The Environmental Health and Safety program has enabled me to develop my skills and obtain better career opportunities. I graduated in Fall 14/15 and I am currently working as EHS Manager at Abu Dhabi Ports.
During my undergraduate degree in the College of Health Sciences, I was able to acquire a high standard of knowledge and information. I also had the opportunity to participate in workshops and conferences where I met people from different industry sectors. All of this was possible due to the continuous support from the professional faculty, who focus on linking the theoretical part of the program with industry.
Tuition is based upon the College and/or Department classification as opposed to the course classification or level. Tuition rates for undergraduate students vary from the tuition rates for graduate students.
The tuition fee calculations are an example only and are based on the assumption that elective courses will be taken with the College that the student is taking their major with. However, if the student selects elective courses outside of this College, the total cost payable may increase or decrease to reflect the tuition rate of the College where the elective is delivered.
Costs of books and supplies are not included in the Tuition and Fees. Students at Abu Dhabi University are also required to pay certain fees and other costs to attend the University. Abu Dhabi University reserves the right to change tuition and fee rates at any time. A tuition schedule is published prior to registration for each semester.
