You will share your knowledge and experience which will involve teaching a variety of courses. Some are already fully developed (such as safety practice and safety risk management amongst others) while new ones will be developed by you.

You will guide, coach and assess SSMS students in order to facilitate their integration of theory and practice. This includes supervision of internships and of the final thesis.
