MASTER IN ERGONOMICS

Ergonomics is a multidisciplinary scientific discipline that studies the relationships between man, the activity he performs, and the elements of the system in which he is immersed, in order to reduce the physical, mental and psychic loads of the individual and to adapt the products, systems, workstations, and environments to the characteristics, limitations, and needs of its users; seeking to optimize its effectiveness, safety, comfort and the overall performance of the system. The Master in Ergonomics is a professional program that provides a global vision of Ergonomics, which will prepare our students to integrate teams in which they can work and collaborate, making known the advantages of applying the concepts learned, thus improving the work environment of organizations and your productivity. The Master's program in Ergonomics is taught in a blended mode using an interactive platform that provides a suitable learning environment to be used by national and foreign students. In addition, it has an intensive period of practical training that takes place in the Ergonomics Laboratories of the University of Concepción, during the month of January at the beginning of the second year of study, in which students apply the concepts acquired during training. The program ends with the completion of an applied study in a real work environment that is presented and defended by the student in front of a commission.
