消防安全会影响建筑环境的各个方面-从工业设施和摩天大楼的设计到用于制造汽车和飞机的材料。该计划将土木工程与消防安全工程专业领域的额外研究相结合，并将为土木工程专业的学生提供必要的基本技能和知识，以为广泛的项目制定全面的消防安全策略。研究领域将包括控制着火，着火增长以及建筑物对火的反应的基本过程。该课程计划还将制定在建筑环境中应用消防安全工程所需的设计原则。
Fire Safety influences every aspect of the built environment ' from the design of industrial facilities and skyscrapers to the materials chosen to create cars and aeroplanes. This program combines Civil Engineering with additional study in the specialist field of Fire Safety Engineering and will equip Civil Engineering students with the necessary fundamental skills and knowledge to develop a comprehensive Fire Safety Strategy for a broad range of projects. Areas of study will include the fundamental processes governing ignition, fire growth, and the response of structures to fire. The course program will also develop the design principles required for applying fire safety engineering in the built environment.
