**Course Overview**
- Aiming for a senior role in fire safety? This could be the course for you. Fire Engineering impacts on all our lives whether we realise it or not. Find out more on our MEng Fire Engineering degree.
- This programme has been developed with the Energy Institute to meet the academic skills requirement of Chartered Engineers. Our course is externally accredited. It’s practical and focuses on fire in the context of buildings and infrastructure, the technology for predicting fires, and designs for fire safety.
- Fire and fire safety are key issues in building, infrastructure design and high-hazard industries. Our programme was developed in consultation with employers and professional bodies and because of our established research base, the content is current and highly relevant.
- The application of fire engineering in the real world is multidisciplinary and so is our course. You’ll carry out project work, liaising between fire engineers and other members of the design and management teams.
- Our course builds on the training and educational programmes offered by the Institution of Fire Engineers.
- You’ll get the chance to work with fire safety engineering companies, all with the aim of boosting your employability when you graduate.
