All courses and procedures are aligned with the Bologna process for education and training in Europe. As a participant in the safescimet courses and Master’s programme you are normally a science, medical or veterinary graduate, either currently working in a safety science environment or seeking to improve your insight and knowledge of safety science in some area of your career. Normally, a minimum of a higher academic qualification at least to MSc degree or equivalent in a relevant subject is a precondition. Competence in both written and spoken English to an IELTS level or equivalent of 7.0 is an absolute requirement. If you wish to apply for the MSc degree in Safety Sciences for Medicines you will normally also possess a minimum of one year working experience in the Safety Sciences field. If courses are taken one by one as “stand alone” for personal Continual Professional Development (CPD), there are no formal entrance requirements, although a scientific background to at least MSc level or equivalent is recommended.
