FireSERT Courses . The course aims to provide both a comprehensive understanding and a level of expertise that allows the application of appropriate fire safety engineering techniques to building design and an awareness and understanding of fire and its interaction with people and buildings. The course is intended for those involved in all aspects of fire safety whether in construction, building code or regulation compliance, fire protection, building component manufacture and property insurance. The course draws on the internationally-recognised research and facilities of the Centre for Fire Safety Engineering Research and Technology.
Students use the extensive experimental research facilities available during the course.
The programme allows suitably qualified students to study and acquire the relevant knowledge and intellectual skills needed to address issues associated with the provision of fire safety engineering, thus enabling them to design fire safe environments now and in the future. The corpus of knowledge, which is considered in the international context, to characterise fire safety engineering education is provided within the content of the full programme of modules.
