46 Engineering & Technology | Bachelor’s and Master’s programme directoryEngineering & Technologythe required knowledge for a professional fire safetyengineer, capable of developing a Performance BasedDesign (PBD). The three IMFSE universities are leadingEuropean institutions in the field of fire safety, providingboth educational programmes and high-level research.Ghent aims at general FSE, Lund is recognised inenclosure fire dynamics, CFD modelling, human behaviourduring fires and evacuation and towards methodsfor risk assessment, and Edinburgh is the developer ofthe first curriculum in structural Fire Safety Engineering.Fire Safety EngineeringFire Safety Engineering is a multidisciplinary field thatrequires a deep understanding of building design andconstruction, the thermo-chemical processes associatedto fire growth, human behaviour and the representationof the many uncertainties through risk assessments.A Fire Safety engineer fulfils a broad rangeof duties, all related to fire safety. This can rangefrom designing fire protection for a space station, toensuring that the occupants of buildings are safe fromfire. Fire Safety engineers have always been in greatdemand by industry, insurance companies, rescue services,educational institutions, consulting firms, andgovernment bodies around the world.Currently, the extreme need for FSE in Europe andaround the world is leading to a proliferation of remedialshort courses and a few low-level higher educationdegrees that are not founded on a strong knowledge andexperience base. These programmes are delivering professionalswith degrees to a practice that has no definitionof competence. Thus the transformation of the field isslow, with many mistakes being made and a deep- seededconfusion of the skills required for an adequate PBD.The major educational objectives of the course arethat the Master’s students in FSE:• are able to critically evaluate and construct anoriginal, performance based, fire safety design;• understand the complexity and evolution of thedesign tools and the many existing gaps of knowledgeand limitations;• understand the current research trends and areable to subsequently perform scientific (PhD level)research in the domain of FSE;• gain an awareness of the professional context andthe broad problems in FSE;The detailed educational objectives of this course arethat the Master’s students in FSE:• can evaluate and make a motivated choice of differenttypes of fire detection and suppression(passive and active) and develop a quantitative performanceassessment;• can identify structural weaknesses in fire and providea quantitative assessment of performance;• can make detailed risk analyses;• can establish quantitative egress patterns in caseof fire;•have knowledge on national and international(especially European) regulation; can collaboratewith FSE colleagues.Programme modules/coursesThe IMFSE course consists of four semesters of 30 ECTScredits each. The mobility structure, with possiblechange in study location after each semester, gives thestudents the opportunity to gain from the strengthsand expertise of each of the three universities.• The classes in the first semester, covering basic topicsin Fire Safety Engineering (FSE), can be attendedin Ghent or Edinburgh. All students spend the secondsemester in Lund, where emphasis lies on enclosurefire dynamics, risk analysis and human behavior. In thethird semester, classes are again taught in Ghent (forgeneral FSE) or Edinburgh (with focus on structuralengineering in the context of FSE). The fourth semes-ter is devoted to the Master’s thesis, hosted by one ormore of the three institutes.• Semester 1 (mobility track 1) Ghent University (G):Basics of Structural Engineering (9 ECTS), Introductionto Fire Dynamics (9 ECTS), Thermodynamics, Heat andMass Transfer (6 ECTS) Language and Culture (6 ECTS).• Semester 1 (mobility track 2) University of Edinburgh(E): Structural Form, Function and Design Philosophy(6 ECTS), Finite Element Method and Implementation(9 ECTS), Fire Science and Fire Dynamics (9 ECTS), EngineeringProject Management (6 ECTS).• Semester 2 Lund University (L): Risk Assessment (8 ECTS),Advanced Fire Dynamics (9 ECTS), Human Behavior in Fire(8 credits), Simulation of Fires in Enclosures (5 ECTS).• Semester 3 (mobility track 1) Ghent University (G):Explosions and Industrial Fire Safety (6 ECTS), PassiveFire Protection (6 ECTS): Active Fire Protection I: Detectionand Suppression (6 ECTS), Active Fire Protection II:Smoke and Heat Control (6 ECTS), Fire Safety Regulation(3 ECTS), Performance-based Design (3 ECTS).• Semester 3 (mobility track 2) University of Edinburgh (E):Real Structural Behaviour (6 ECTS) OR Structural Dynamicsand Earthquake Engineering (6 ECTS), Quantitative Methodsin Fire Safety Engineering (6 ECTS), Current Methodsin Fire Safety Engineering (6 ECTS), Fire Dynamics Laboratory(6 ECTS), Fire Resistance of Structures (6 ECTS).• Semester 4 Ghent, Lund or Edinburgh: Master’s thesis(30 ECTS).Admission requirements and how to applyA Bachelor’s degree or recognised equivalent from anaccredited institution (minimum 3 years full-time studyor 180 ECTS credits) in civil, structural, mechanical,electrical, chemical, industrial engineering, materialsciences, chemistry, physics, applied physics, architecture,urbanism and spatial planning or a related discipline.Students in their last year of such a Bachelor’sprogramme will also be considered.
