It looks at fire safety in buildings and infrastructure, drawing on fire chemistry, heat transfer, toxicity, structural engineering, legislation, environmental impact assessment and risk management, with the aim of preparing graduates to lead in careers connected with fire.
Study covers the science of fire and combustion, how fires develop and smoke moves, computer-based fire modelling, design driven by performance, research methods, protection systems of the active and passive kind, managing risk and environmental impact in fire safety, and a dissertation. The stated aims include regulatory knowledge, innovation, emergency response planning and independent as well as collaborative project work.
Full-time study takes one year, while part-time study takes two to three years. Applicants whose English falls short of the required level can complete a Postgraduate Qualifying Programme first.
