The programme is a linked programme of awards leading to either a Post-Graduate Diploma (comprising eight taught modules) or MSc (eight taught modules plus Research Dissertation) in Fire Safety Engineering. In the PG Diploma programme (semesters 1 and 2) students will study compulsory modules in Heat Transfer and Thermofluids, Fire Dynamics, Structural Fire Engineering, Fire Engineering Laboratory, Active Fire Protection Systems, People and Fire and Fire Safety Engineering Design (2 modules). All core academic staff are actively engaged in research which is closely aligned with their teaching disciplines. The majority are members of the Fire Safety Engineering Research and Technology centre (FireSERT), whilst others are members of Hydrogen Safety Engineering and Research (HySAFER) and the Centre for Sustainable Technologies (CST) within the Built Environment Research Institute. All staff were included in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (a measure of the quality of research) in which 91% of our Architecture, Built Environment and Planning research was recognised as being world leading/internationally excellent, 100% of our research environment was rated as world leading/internationally excellent and all of our impact case studes were judged to have considerable impacts in terms of reach and significance. These results reflect the strong portfolio of published academic papers and external research grants held by the team and our vibrant Phd programme. The research ethos of the department is evident within the MSc programme which is research led and informed.
