Overview

Our Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Fire Safety Engineering is a broad discipline covering a wide range of areas including fire prevention, detection, escape, suppression and control. It’s where fire safety is built into design and construction at the planning stage, and where saving lives starts.

The aim of this four year programme is to equip you with the engineering knowledge at a scientific and practical level to undertake both prescriptive and performance based fire design safety.

You will take core modules in mathematics, fire science, fluids, thermodynamics, building services, construction technology and structural design, along with general construction elements such as CAD, construction economics, land surveying and technical writing. You will then advance to fire safety subjects that take account of human behavior, fire and reliability modelling, fire structural design and fire engineering techniques.

There are theoretical and practical modules coupled with a work experience placement, projects and a dissertation that will position you upon graduation as a fire safety engineer with a unique set of skills that are in high demand nationally and internationally in both the private and public sector.
