    The MSc in Integrated Management Systems follows the success and widespread adoption of quality management systems standards. In recent years, further systematic approaches have been introduced in areas such as the environment, and health and safety. These systems can be integrated, leading to greater efficiency and effectiveness in business and industry.

    This programme has been developed in collaboration with industry and professional bodies, and offers students the opportunity to continue their professional development. In the first instance, the programme is aimed at those already employed in the areas of Quality, Environment or Health and Safety.
