The course is too niche.. you'll really struggle to find much company in S'pore that will employ such graduates... Better to go with something that will allow you to more easily move around in companies...

Hi there, you can check out with the people in the Facebook group 'BSc Human Factors and Systems (UniSIM)'

For your info, you need not take this programme to become a safety officer. to become a safety officer, there are a few requirement, i.e. working experience in safety related field for about 3 years.

In answering to your question about the prospect, i could only roughly explain it to be like, anyone with experience on the ground of relevant field can be safety officer as long as they go through certain test. However, in order to become a safety Manager, you need to have either experience in management or fundamentally a degree paper.

Anyway, the thing that this programme can provide you is that it equip you with the knowledge of Human Factors to safety. it is about the psychological and physiological part of why and how certain products or services affect our human performance, reaction and more.

If you are keen to know more, you could go to the FB group to ask the people in there, who are already in this program. some have already graduate.

Cheers,
Lionel
