Subject: Quality, Hygiene, Safety, Health and the Environment
Career path: Management of Technological and Occupational Risks

This degree is supported by a partnership between Avignon University and NEXTECH. It trains professionals capable of providing effective support to the management of a company or site by contributing to the risk prevention policy as part of an integrated approach.
The course offers two specialisations:
- The first focuses on the health aspects of technological risks of nuclear origin,
