Fire safety strongly influences the built environments we inhabit and impacts our lives in many diverse ways. Traditional approaches are based mainly on experience, however, the building industry is constantly innovating in pursuit of efficiency.
It is the role of the fire safety engineer to anticipate, understand and react to these innovations, proposing solutions based on sound engineering principles.
The subject is fundamentally multi-disciplinary in nature and the engineer must seek to balance the complex and often conflicting demands of clients, architects, the fire authorities and regulators.
A fire safety engineer therefore needs to be equipped with essential knowledge of fire phenomena, and an understanding of how people, structures, and fire safety systems respond to fire.
United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
Based on our compulsory course material, this degree aligns with many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the top three being:
