The life of a fire safety engineer is diverse and demanding. This foundation programme will prepare you for it, giving you a broad-based, vocationally relevant qualification taught by leading academics and ex-fire professionals. You’ll study fire prevention, development and containment. You’ll get to understand the dynamics of fire, and how to design suppression systems that minimise the human, environmental and financial impact of fire. And alongside specific fire safety knowledge, you’ll develop all-important analytical and critical skills, alongside transferable IT and design abilities, that will stand you in good stead regardless of the career path you choose.
