Current Program

The Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Work+Health integrates the specializations of Occupational Medicine (OM) and Occupational Hygiene (OH). The interdisciplinary DAS Work+Health program consists of both common modules and specialization modules. Please select one of these specializations on the basis of your educational and professional background and personal interest. 

Program 2024 - 2026

 It is no longer possible to apply to the entire DAS for 2024-26, but we are now accepting applications for DAS 2026-28. 

Overview of all modules

Common modules (C1 to C10)

The general topics and practical approaches of work and health are introduced in the common modules. The DAS Work+Health program emphasizes learning from each other and sharing your skills and knowledge with your colleagues through interdisciplinary group work, discussion rounds and case studies.  These common modules are part of the DAS W+H full program but the majority can also be taken as single modules.  The only ones that cannot be taken as single modules are C1 and C10 - those are only for participants in the entire program.

Common Modules ​​​​​​

Specialization modules

In these modules, besides lectures and group work, you may also visit work sites at different companies to deepen your specific knowledge and train practical skills. You will choose a specialization as part of the DAS W+H full program application or as single modules (OH1-5 or OM1-5).  If you choose only specialization modules in your single module application, the DAS W+H does not guarantee your certification.  For that you need to check with the appropriate association. The specializations of DAS Work+Health are:

Group project (C11)

In the concluding interdisciplinary group work of C11, you work independently with colleagues on a given project in the industry. Within this project you demonstrate readiness to take on work and health specialists’ responsibilities and work efficiently in interdisciplinary teams.
