Study Details: 1 Year Full Time
New technologies and climate change are increasingly introducing new and complex fire hazards into environments that were previously considered low risk. As such a knowledge of fire science and its engineering application is critical for societies across the globe to manage, control and prevent the causes of fire.
The MSc in Fire Engineering Science will teach you how fires burn (fire dynamics), how regulators control fire risks, and how our environment can be changed to mitigate fire risks. You will also benefit from many practical opportunities to learn about how to measure and study fire phenomena through our fire laboratory class.
As part of the dissertation, you will investigate a real-world fire engineering problem. This gives you the opportunity to contribute to enhancing fire prevention and mitigation methods of the future.
Students learn as part of a wider group of domestic and international masters students, all studying different aspects of fire safety science and engineering. Classes consist of lectures with academic staff, tutorials where you can deepen your problem-solving ability by directly interacting with staff and researchers at the Edinburgh Fire Research Centre. In addition, the laboratory classes offer the opportunity to get hands-on with fire science diagnostics equipment and learn from leading researchers in fire safety science.
Entry requirements for individual programmes vary, so please check the details for the specific programme you wish to apply for on the University of Edinburgh website. You will also need to meet the University English Language requirements.

Internationally, there is great demand for graduates in this field. Expertise in fire safety engineering is particularly relevant as new technologies continue to change the fire hazards presented to people and the environment. Our previous graduates are in relevant employment, with the majority working in fire teams at engineering consultancies, and others working at research institutions, or pursuing further study.
Edinburgh. Extraordinary futures await. The University of Edinburgh is one of the world’s top universities, consistently ranked in the worl...
