Overview

Students on the Fire Safety Engineering (Part-time) course from Ulster University have the opportunity to use Fire SERT's state-of-the-art facilities both within the taught programme and to progress experimental research projects which are often designed to complement current research projects being undertaken by staff.

Students also have the opportunity to work closely with practitioners in the design module to develop a fire safety strategy for a real complex building.

All core academic staff are actively engaged in research which is closely aligned with their teaching disciplines. The majority are members of the Fire Safety Engineering Research and Technology centre (FireSERT), whilst others are members of Hydrogen Safety Engineering and Research (HySAFER) and the Centre for Sustainable Technologies (CST) within the Built Environment Research Institute.

Career and Opportunities

There is strong demand for well-educated fire safety engineers, and the majority of students will embark on a career within a fire safety engineering consultancy. Graduates from the Ulster course are also employed in other interesting and diverse careers in fields related to fire safety both in the UK and worldwide e.g. as regulators, fire safety officers in both the public and private sector, researchers in research and testing facilities, and fire brigade officers both in the UK and Europe.

Opportunities also exist within the Fire Safety Engineering Research and Technology centre (FireSERT) for PhD studies in a wide range of fire science and engineering related topics.
