About UsThe department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine was established in 1985 following a government review of Occupational Health teaching. Working within the Institute of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, we are one of only five such University departments in the UK and are involved in a wide range of research projects covering both environmental and occupational health issues. We also provide two postgraduate degree courses and offer a range of certificates and modules targeted at specific needs within industry. In 2002 we undertook a review of our research and teaching activity and constructed an academic plan for the period 2003-2007. The executive summary of this plan can be read by clicking here.
Members of the department provide medical expertise for occupational, respiratory and hyperbaric medicine, and the department has access to therapeutic pressure chambers. Close links in teaching and research are maintained with other University departments, the Rowett Research Institute and the Institute of Occupational Medicine based in Edinburgh.

hazards. It also has access to a positional MRI scanner, the only one of
its kind in Europe. We occupy modern premises within the new Centre for
