The aim is to provide a high-quality Masters degree in structural and fire engineering to UK/EU and international students with a first degree in civil or mechanical engineering or related disciplines.
The focus will be on students developing a thorough and deep understanding of the behaviour of structures in fire as well as the basic principles of fire dynamics and the interactions between structural elements and fire.
The evolution of building regulations internationally is enabling structural fire resistance design to move from the rigid 'prescriptive' approaches to 'performance based' approaches and the need for skilled engineers in this area is increasing rapidly.
This course provides a unique opportunity for engineering graduates and professionals to acquire the specialist skills required to understand the behaviour of structures in fire and become proficient in using modern techniques of analysis and design of structures for fire resistance.
Learning Outcomes Graduates will have a knowledge of the critical issues in structural fire safety engineering, with an understanding of relevant fire and structural behaviours; they will be familiar with performance-based approaches to design and have an awareness of the capabilities and limitations of relevant advanced modelling methods for structures and fire.
Contents
The MSc is a full time 12-month modular programme starting in September.
In the first two semesters, students study compulsory taught courses which include formal lectures, laboratory demonstrations and practical exercises. This is followed by a three-month dissertation (or a research project) leading to a Masters thesis.
