Diploma in Occupational and Environmental Health

In a constantly evolving global environment, protecting human capital and preserving the environment are no longer optional but fundamental pillars of competitiveness and organizational sustainability. Today's companies require leaders capable of anticipating challenges, not only by complying with regulations but also by fostering a genuine culture of well-being.

The Diploma in Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Piura was created with the commitment to train specialists with a cutting-edge humanistic and technical perspective. Through a 24-credit theoretical and practical program, we prepare professionals to identify, evaluate, and control physical, chemical, biological, and ergonomic risks, innovatively integrating the impact of climate change on occupational health.
