Fire Safety (Engineering) (Top-up)

On this module you'll gain an understanding of enclosure fire and the dominant mechanisms in controlling them. It will explore the range of relationships, solutions and models used in the design of buildings for fire safety and investigations. You'll also build on your employability skills, including independent working, analysis, problem solving, presentations and working with others.

This module aims to develop your skills in numerical analyses. You will evaluate different appropriate fire protection applications.

This module will develop your ability to investigate a fire to meet the needs of officials. You will learn to recognize the scene, patterns, indicators, and dynamics of fire development. You will gain an insight into the fire setter's motives and characteristics. The module emphasises on the recovery and analysis of evidence and the conclusions that can be drawn from the analytical results. You will understand the investigation structure and management of mass fatality incidents as well as small premises.

We aim for you to understand, apply, and critically evaluate techniques of hazard and risk management and produce and defend professional quality reports on real risk management policy.

This module will develop your engineering design skills both as a team member and as an individual. You will develop your critical thinking, problem solving and key skills in case studies.

You'll carry out an independent study of theoretical, computational, experimental or investigative analysis, or a combination. By the end of this module, you will have enhanced your research, communication and evaluation skills.
