ERGONOMICS


NOTICE

The Ergonomics Programs (Masters, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate) at UNSW are currently being reviewed with a view to updating them in the light of modern interests and requirements in human factors. Such review and program revamp will in part be built upon the views of our previous students. Accordingly no new applications to enroll in any of the Ergonomics Programs are being accepted for the whole of 2008. It is expected that new enrollments will accepted for commencement in March 2009.
 
The Ergonomics Programs are an articulated set of three specialist programs designed for professionals from other disciplines to gain various levels of competency in ergonomics, form an awareness of its scope and principles and develop skills required of a professional ergonomist.
