本课程将为您提供成为安全关键系统工程领域的领导者所需的教育背景，无论您目前是该领域的执业还是有抱负的专业人员。产品和服务正在对可能危害人类生命的活动进行更多的授权。系统安全专业人员访问一个相互关联的影响因素网络，以评估这些产品或服务的安全性。本课程将为您提供机会，成为从事安全关键系统工程的从业人员，或增强您的现有实践，并反思您的工作对您当前的角色和整个社会的影响。三项工作将培养您的技能：关键安全系统的安全思维，安全工程师的技能和专业精神。
This course will provide you with the educational background required to become a leader in the field of safety critical systems engineering, whether you are currently a practising - or aspiring - professional in this area.<br><br>Products and services are taking on more authority over activities that have the capability to pose a risk to human lives. System safety professionals address a web of interlinked contributing factors to assess the safety of these products or services.<br><br>This course will provide you with the opportunity to become a practitioner in safety-critical systems engineering, or to enhance your existing practice, and to reflect on the implications of your work both for your current role and for society as a whole. Three strands of work will develop your skills: safety-critical system safety thinking, skills as a safety engineer and professionalism.<br><br>The course will ensure you are better equipped to make a contribution to your organisation. You will gain a thorough grounding and practical experience in the use of techniques for the development, operation and assurance of the safety characteristics of systems or services that have safety implications. We will explore the principles behind these techniques to ensure that sound safety engineering judgments can be made. You will investigate the latest research and focus on advanced practice in a number of areas. <br><br>The course employs the extensive research and industrial experience of the developers of the work packages you will address. It brings together safety professionals from many different domains (aerospace, military, automotive, railway, nuclear) to ensure your learning is as varied and as comprehensive as possible.<br><br>This course is also available as an MSc in Safety Critical Systems Engineering, or a PGCert in Systems Safety Engineering.
