Operational Safety Management

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Safe workplaces and data protection play an increasingly important role in organisations. Companies need to fulfil legal requirements but also be able to cut costs. Managers have to see that these requirements are met and need to qualify in order to do so. This Master's programme in Operational Safety Management has been offered by THGA since 2006, being the first university in Germany to do so. The course is offered in collaboration with German authorities and associations in charge of occupational health and safety (BAuA), accident prevention (DGUV) and data protection (GDD). As most of the students are already in service, this programme is offered as a part-time course (Friday evenings, Saturday mornings and block units). Graduates will obtain the degree Master of Science (M.Sc.) and write a Master's thesis (six months), usually about a project from their own world of work.
