Here is what a couple of our students
have said about the course:
Richard Greaves
Matthew Powell-Howard
“Before commencing on the BSc in Safety and
Environmental Management at The University of
Hull I felt that the likelihood of my being able to
achieve a degree would be remote due to having a
fulltime job and a young family. However I was sure
that I wanted to change my circumstances from
working shifts as a control room operator, to a
fulltime role in health, safety and environmental
management.
Having already completed the NEBOSH Certificate
and numerous trade union courses I felt that I was
reasonably well prepared for the degree course –
big mistake! Initially I found the course really
challenging especially after being out of education
for such a long time, but eventually it all started to
come together thanks to the excellent teaching staff,
the teaching material provided on the course and
the camaraderie of my fellow students.
Since starting the degree my career has changed
immeasurably, and I have gained not only a great
deal of new knowledge and confidence but also
some really good friends and colleagues. My
advice to anybody who is considering embarking on
the Safety and Environmental Management degree
would be to go for it, you’ll not regret it.”
“Although intense and extremely hard work, I
thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience at UOH; I
wish I'd have done it earlier. The use of
lecturers/specialists from industry is the only way to
cover the breadth of the syllabus properly. Hull
exceeded this, and the access to the wealth of
knowledge was fantastic for me as a student; the
tutors were without exception extremely supportive.
FURTHER INFORMATION
If you would like further information on any of our
courses or services please contact:
I also have to mention my fellow students. Before I
started I hadn't even considered that they would be
so important. The experience brought in to the
classes was also a critically important part of the
whole learning process.

I left looking at the world very differently, and feeling
confident to question and not just to take things at
face value; the analytical approach learned is critical
in my profession.

Although relieved to have graduated, I was also
sorry to have finished. However, I made some
extremely good friends and contacts so still have
access to that wealth of knowledge.

The University facilities, resources and the support
from the department staff was second to none. I
started the course feeling out of my depth, finished
feeling ready for almost anything; but having a clear
understanding that there is still such a lot to learn.
Thanks to the lecturers, staff and my fellow
students.”
