Managingquality of education is difficult and diversified task. Certainly, at the very center of quality assurance is experience that students and graduates get throughout their education course. One of the factors influencing these experiences are teaching methods. The objective of the paperis to assess the experience of Workplace Safety and Hygiene master programstudents of with regard to teaching and learning methodsand Industry 4.0 readiness. The objective is realized through interpretation of the surveyresults that was madewithin MSIE4.0 project among the studentsof different industrial engineering master programs.Additionally, the program and courses documentation isinterpretedin accordance to the 'LOVE' model approach to assess education experience. The sample of the survey is based on MSc students of Workplace Safety and Hygiene that are held at Częstochowa University of Technology. As the study shows, there are some drawbacks of the program with regard to immersive approach to learning and more active students engagement. The readiness to Industry 4.0 requirements is not really visible and some purposeful actions should be made in order to make the program part of activities addressing this economic and social challenge.
