European University Cyprus has established a reputation for quality education with a sharp focus on the employability of its students, and has been recognized for its investment in high tech innovation and engagement with industry and society.
The PhD program in Occupational Safety and Health aims to create a new generation of high level research scholars. The program aims to capitalize on the existing traditional theoretical schools in safety science, while taking in account the local, cultural influences, as well as exploring emerging risks and new challenges in a National level (the discovery of hydrocarbons). The program will involve an element of theoretical reinforcement through the delivery of three high class fundamental classes and a research part that will concentrate in the area of choice of the candidate. Students will benefit from ongoing project work in the Centre for Risk, Safety and the Environment (CERISE) with particular emphasis to the areas of safety performance and safety cultures in micro firms, human factors and safety cultures in critical infrastructures and risk communication.
